Abi Foundry 1973 Cast Iron Combo Wye 1/8 Bend 3x2 in

Product Description

The ABI FOUNDRY 1973 is a service weight cast iron combination wye and 1/8 bend fitting designed for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping systems. This long-turn fitting joins a 3-inch main line to a 2-inch branch line using a spigot inlet and dual hub outlets, allowing both direction change and branch connection in a single unit. Rated for temperatures from 32 to 212 degrees F, it is built for reliable performance in below-slab, in-wall, and overhead DWV installations. Domestic manufacture means it meets the material and dimensional standards expected on code-driven commercial and residential plumbing projects. Licensed plumbers are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial DWV applications where a main 3-inch drain line requires a 2-inch branch takeoff with a directional change. The combination wye and 1/8 bend configuration reduces the need for separate fittings, simplifying rough-in layouts in floor-drain, lavatory, and fixture-branch scenarios. Its spigot x hub x hub end configuration is compatible with standard service weight cast iron hub-and-spigot pipe joined with lead and oakum or with no-hub couplings adapted to spigot connections.

Key Features

• Combination wye and 1/8 bend in a single casting reduces fitting count at the branch
• Service weight cast iron construction for DWV drain lines
• 3 x 2 inch nominal size with spigot x hub x hub end configuration
• Temperature rating of 32 to 212 degrees F
• Domestically manufactured in the United States

Compatibility

Designed for use with service weight cast iron hub-and-spigot DWV pipe and fittings in 3-inch and 2-inch nominal sizes. The spigot end inserts into a standard cast iron hub; the two hub ends accept standard spigot pipe or spigot fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local amendments. Shut off all water supply and verify the line is unpressurized before cutting into an existing drain line. Hub-and-spigot joints may be sealed with molten lead and oakum or with approved mechanical compression couplings rated for cast iron pipe. Support horizontal runs per code-required hanger spacing for cast iron DWV pipe to prevent joint stress.
