Charlotte Pipe PVC-401-4X4X2 Pvc Dwv Reducing Sanitary Tee

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE PVC-401-4X4X2 is a reducing sanitary tee fitting designed for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping systems. It accepts a 4-inch inlet, 4-inch outlet, and a 2-inch branch connection, making it well suited for tie-in situations where a smaller branch line joins a main 4-inch drain stack. This fitting is manufactured from PVC and is intended exclusively for non-pressure, gravity-fed waste elimination systems. Service temperatures must not exceed 140 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using standard solvent cement joining. No specialty cutting tools are required.

This sanitary tee is used in residential and light commercial DWV rough-in work. Common applications include connecting a 2-inch fixture drain, such as a lavatory or laundry line, into a 4-inch main soil stack or horizontal drain run. The reducing branch design eliminates the need for a separate bushing in many layouts. All Charlotte Pipe PVC fittings are manufactured in the USA and meet standard DWV application requirements for gravity-fed systems.

Key Features

• Reducing branch configuration: 4 inches x 4 inches x 2 inches for direct tie-in without an additional bushing
• PVC material — lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to handle on the jobsite
• Compatible with solvent cement, threaded, flanged, and roll-grooved joining methods
• Rated for non-pressure, gravity-fed DWV service only — not for pressurized lines
• Maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F
• Manufactured in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for residential and light commercial PVC DWV piping systems operating under gravity-fed, non-pressure conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and ensure the drain system is depressurized and clear before cutting into an existing line. Solvent cement joining requires proper surface preparation including cleaning, priming, and cementing per the cement manufacturer's instructions. This fitting is not rated for pressure applications and must not be used in pressurized water supply lines.
