Charlotte Pipe pvc-601-12x12x8 Reducing Wye Pvc Dwv

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE pvc-601-12x12x8 is a PVC reducing wye fitting designed for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping systems. It connects a 12-inch main line to a 12-inch run and reduces to an 8-inch branch at a 45-degree angle, allowing directional changes and branch connections within gravity-flow drainage systems. Manufactured from Schedule 40 PVC conforming to ASTM D2665, D1784, D3311, and F1866, the fitting carries an NSF 14 certification and a 140 degrees F temperature rating. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting in large-diameter commercial and residential DWV rough-in work where reducing branch connections are required.

This fitting is suited for large-diameter DWV installations in commercial buildings, multi-family residential projects, and industrial drain systems where a 12-inch trunk line requires a reducing 8-inch branch takeoff. The hub x hub x hub end connections accept solvent-welded PVC pipe on all three ports. Applications include main building drain runs, horizontal branch connections, and stack-to-horizontal transitions governed by the International Plumbing Code and applicable local amendments.

Key Features

• 45-degree reducing wye geometry allows smooth-flow branch connections while maintaining directional flow in the main line
• Three hub (socket) ends accept solvent-cement PVC pipe on all ports for leak-free, permanent joints
• NSF 14 certified — meets requirements for drain, waste, and vent piping applications
• Rated to 140 degrees F for compatibility with typical DWV service temperatures
• Complies with ASTM D2665, D1784, D3311, and F1866 material and dimensional standards
• Meets Federal Specification L-P-320A and FHA UM-79A applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC DWV piping systems using 12-inch and 8-inch nominal pipe sizes with solvent-weld hub connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes. Isolate and drain the affected piping section completely before cutting into an existing system. Clean and dry all mating surfaces, apply PVC primer and solvent cement per the cement manufacturer's instructions and ASTM standards, and allow full cure time before restoring flow. Do not apply heat to accelerate curing on large-diameter fittings, as joint integrity depends on proper chemical fusion.
