Charlotte Pipe Pvc 00502 1400HA 3x3x2 Reducing Tee Wye

Product Description

The Charlotte Pipe Foundry PVC 00502 1400HA is a reducing combination tee wye fitting designed for PVC drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping systems. This single-piece fitting combines a tee and wye configuration to allow a branch line at a reduced diameter to connect into a larger main line, supporting proper flow and drainage. The fitting measures 3 inches by 3 inches by 2 inches, accommodating a 2-inch branch off a 3-inch run. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during rough-in work on residential and light commercial drain systems.

This fitting is used in gravity-flow DWV applications where a smaller-diameter branch line must tie into a 3-inch main drain or waste stack. Typical install scenarios include bathroom group rough-ins, laundry connections, and fixture branch tie-ins where flow direction and slope compliance with IPC or local plumbing codes are required. The combination tee wye geometry promotes smoother flow transition compared to a standard tee, reducing the risk of solids buildup at the junction.

Key Features

• Reducing configuration: 3 inches x 3 inches main run with 2-inch branch outlet
• Combination tee wye geometry supports smoother drainage flow than a straight tee
• Single-piece construction eliminates additional joints at the transition
• PVC material resists corrosion and chemical degradation common in drain and waste service
• Sold in a package quantity of 10 units

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for PVC DWV piping systems using Schedule 40 or compatible PVC solvent-weld pipe and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local code. Solvent-cement all joints using PVC primer and PVC cement rated for DWV service. Ensure the fitting is oriented to maintain the required drain slope and that the branch inlet alignment matches the intended flow direction before cement sets. Do not apply cement to already-assembled or partially cured joints.
