Abi Foundry 1713 Cast Iron Wye Fitting 8 X 4 in

Product Description

The ABI FOUNDRY 1713 is a service weight cast iron wye fitting designed for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping systems. It provides a branch connection off a main drain line, allowing flow to be directed from an 8-inch run into a 4-inch branch. The spigot inlet connects into a hub fitting downstream, while the two hub ends accept standard spigot pipe or fittings. Manufactured domestically from cast iron, this wye is built for long service life in below-grade and above-grade drain applications. Licensed plumbers typically specify and install this type of fitting in residential and commercial waste systems.

This fitting is suited for use in sanitary drain, waste, and vent installations where an 8-inch main line requires a 4-inch branch takeoff. The service weight designation makes it appropriate for standard residential and light commercial DWV applications. The domestic cast iron construction meets the expectations of inspectors and contractors working under plumbing codes that require cast iron in certain occupancy types or installation zones. Its spigot x hub x hub configuration provides straightforward integration into existing cast iron piping runs.

Key Features

• Service weight cast iron construction for durable DWV service
• 8 x 4 inch nominal size with spigot x hub x hub end configuration
• Temperature rated from 32 to 212 degrees F
• Domestically manufactured in the United States
• Wye geometry allows branch connections with lower flow resistance than tee fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style service weight cast iron wye for standard 8-inch main by 4-inch branch DWV piping systems using spigot and hub joint connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off water supply and ensure the drain line is clear before cutting into an existing system. Hub joints on cast iron fittings are typically sealed with lead and oakum or with approved no-hub couplings depending on the joint method specified. Confirm proper slope and support of the drain line after installation per code requirements.
