I've tried looking for Y pieces, Y tees, wyes , double elbows, you name it - no dice. Is there a different name for these that I'm just missing? Or are these just not used here?

You could use a cross-tee, and blank off the vertical inlet

Looks like I'm going to have to -- thanks!

or with 4 sockets:

There will be some expectation of access for rodding from above, in case of blockage etc. The example you provide doesn't provide for this.

Ah, I should try looking at the link a little harder!

I was also going to suggest that.

If you use this for the blank:

it will give you a rodding/inspection point in a useful location too.

Personally, I'd keep the manufacturer the same for best chance of parts fitting well:

Double elbow is what we call it in the UK too. I have seen malleable iron ones but not PVC waste pipe. Just use a normal Tee. Small difference in practice I think

Could it be a seagull tee?
