Charlotte Pipe PVC-601-3X3X1-1/2 Pvc Dwv Reducing Wye

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE PVC-601-3X3X1-1/2 is a reducing wye fitting designed for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping systems. It connects a 3-inch main line to a 1-1/2-inch branch takeoff, allowing flow to split or join within a gravity-fed waste elimination system. Made from PVC, this fitting is lightweight and suited for non-pressure drainage applications where temperatures do not exceed 140 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in residential and commercial DWV rough-in work. It accepts solvent cement joining, which is the standard method in PVC drain line construction.

This reducing wye is used in gravity-fed drain, waste, and vent systems in residential and light commercial construction. Typical applications include tying a 1-1/2-inch fixture drain such as a lavatory or kitchen sink into a 3-inch main drain stack or horizontal drain line. The wye configuration promotes smooth, low-turbulence flow and is the preferred fitting type in DWV branch connections where sanitary flow direction matters. Manufactured in the USA by Charlotte Pipe, this fitting meets standard expectations for domestic plumbing rough-in work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Before making joints, ensure all pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and cleaned. Apply PVC primer and solvent cement per manufacturer instructions when using the solvent-cement joining method. Support piping at code-required intervals to maintain proper grade and prevent sag in horizontal drain runs.
