Charlotte Pipe PVC-601-8X8X6 Pvc Dwv Reducing Wye

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE PVC-601-8X8X6 is a PVC drain, waste, and vent (DWV) reducing wye fitting designed for gravity-fed waste elimination systems. It connects an 8-inch main line to a 6-inch branch line, making it a practical choice when transitioning between pipe sizes in a drainage run. This fitting is rated for non-pressure DWV applications only and is not suitable for systems where temperatures exceed 140 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in residential and commercial rough-in work where code-compliant drainage layout is required.

This reducing wye is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where the drain stack or horizontal run requires a branch connection at a reduced diameter. Typical installation scenarios include main stack tie-ins, horizontal drain manifolds, and below-slab waste systems. No special cutting tools are required. The fitting accepts solvent cement joining, which is the standard method for PVC DWV systems in most jurisdictions. Threaded, flanged, and roll-grooved joining methods are also compatible per the manufacturer.

Key Features

• Reducing wye configuration connects 8-inch main to 6-inch branch for multi-size drain runs
• Rated for non-pressure DWV service only, not for pressurized or supply systems
• Maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F
• Compatible with solvent cement, threading, flanging, and roll-grooved joining methods

• Manufactured in the USA by Charlotte Pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style DWV fitting for non-pressure gravity drain, waste, and vent piping systems using 8-inch and 6-inch PVC pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable plumbing code, such as the IPC or UPC, as adopted locally. Shut off water service and verify the drain line is clear and dry before solvent cementing. Follow the pipe and cement manufacturer's cure time guidelines before allowing flow through the fitting. Do not use this fitting in pressure piping, hot water supply, or any application exceeding 140 degrees F.
