Charlotte Pipe PVC-102-8X12 Dwv Increaser Reducer

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE PVC-102-8X12 is a PVC DWV pipe increaser reducer coupling designed for drain, waste, and vent applications in gravity-fed, non-pressure piping systems. This fitting transitions between an 8-inch pipe and a 12-inch pipe, making it a practical solution for diameter changes within a DWV network. PVC construction keeps the fitting lightweight and resistant to common drain-line chemistry. It is rated for systems where temperatures do not exceed 140 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in residential and commercial drain systems.

This increaser reducer is suited for use in residential and commercial gravity-fed drain, waste, and vent systems where a transition between 8-inch and 12-inch PVC pipe is required. It is compatible with standard PVC-DWV pipe and fittings joined by solvent cement. The fitting can also be installed using threading, flanging, or roll-grooved joining methods where applicable, giving installers flexibility across different project requirements.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for PVC DWV non-pressure gravity drain, waste, and vent piping systems using 8-inch by 12-inch pipe connections.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off all flow to the affected line and verify the system is depressurized before cutting into existing drain pipe. When using solvent cement, follow the cement and primer manufacturer's instructions for proper cure time before restoring flow. Do not use this fitting in pressurized water supply systems or in applications where temperatures exceed 140 degrees F.
