Is this a new pipe piece?

[gbreda]

I just noticed this piece on the ICC website.

Maybe I have just not noticed it before as I dont check piping websites often. But this would make cleaning my pipe just a bit easier than getting my brush in through the cleanout T that is only inches off the floor.

Only issue might be another area for leaks.

Anyone use this?

I saw that on one of the tees they offered, But don't remember seeing it in a pipe length.

My only worry is its another seem/joint that could leak.

X2 on the leak issue. But not being on the floor like a damn contortionist sounds great to this guy

Now that you mention it, I do remember the T version, but not this. Maybe they realized that we are lazy and out of shape and decided to raise the opening ! !

I got no problem getting down on the floor. Its the getting up that sucks! Specially after being down for more than a few minutes! I almost need a crane to get my FAT A$$ back up.

I would be interested in hearing how good these are if anyone has one installed? Pros and cons are always helpful.
