Charlotte Pipe PVC-601-12X12X10 Pvc Dwv Reducing Wye

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE PVC-601-12X12X10 is a PVC drain, waste, and vent (DWV) reducing wye fitting used in gravity-fed, non-pressure drainage systems. It transitions a 12-inch main line to a 10-inch branch outlet while maintaining full flow continuity through the wye configuration. Rated for systems where temperatures do not exceed 140 degrees F, this fitting is manufactured from PVC, making it lightweight and straightforward to handle on the job. Licensed plumbers install this type of fitting as part of residential and commercial DWV rough-in work, typically using solvent cement joining per applicable plumbing code.

This reducing wye is suited for gravity-drain applications in larger-diameter DWV systems commonly found in commercial buildings, multi-family residential construction, and industrial facilities. The 12 x 12 x 10 inch configuration is used where a full-size 12-inch main run requires a reduced 10-inch branch takeoff, such as at a building drain junction or a large-diameter stack transition. It is not rated for pressurized service. Installation typically takes place during rough-in, before walls and floors are closed, giving the installer full access for solvent cementing and alignment.

Key Features

• Reducing wye configuration: 12 x 12 x 10 inches for branch reduction off a full-size main
• PVC material — lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and compatible with standard solvent cement joining
• Rated for non-pressure DWV service up to 140 degrees F
• Compatible with threading, flanging, and roll-grooved joining methods in addition to solvent cementing
• No special cutting tools required for field modification
• Manufactured in the USA by Charlotte Pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style DWV fitting for use in gravity-fed, non-pressure PVC drain, waste, and vent piping systems. Consult local plumbing code and Charlotte Pipe product documentation to confirm compatibility with the specific pipe schedule and system design in use.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers following IPC or applicable local plumbing code requirements for DWV systems. Shut off water supply and isolate the drain section before cutting into an existing line. Solvent cementing is the standard joining method — ensure pipe ends are clean, dry, and properly primed before applying cement per the solvent manufacturer's instructions. Do not use this fitting in pressurized water supply lines.
