Charlotte Pipe pvc006015400 Pvc Reducing Wye 12x12x8 Dwv

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE pvc006015400 is a PVC 45-degree 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 an 8-inch branch at a 45-degree angle, allowing flow direction changes while accommodating pipe size transitions in a single fitting. All three connections are hub-style ends. The fitting is manufactured from PVC material rated to 140 degrees F and meets Schedule requirements for DWV service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in residential and commercial drainage systems where a reducing branch connection is required.

This reducing wye is intended for DWV applications in gravity-flow drain and vent piping. Its 12-inch by 12-inch by 8-inch configuration suits larger-diameter trunk lines found in commercial buildings, multifamily residential construction, and industrial facilities where main drain runs require a reduced branch takeoff. The 45-degree geometry promotes smoother flow transition compared to a standard 90-degree tee, reducing turbulence at the junction. Plumbing contractors working on new construction or major renovation projects will encounter this fitting where code requires a wye-and-eighth-bend configuration in lieu of a sanitary tee on horizontal runs.

Key Features

• 45-degree reducing wye geometry for smooth flow transition at branch connections
• 12-inch x 12-inch x 8-inch nominal sizing for large-diameter DWV trunk lines
• Hub x Hub x Hub end connections for solvent-weld assembly
• PVC construction rated to 140 degrees F for standard DWV service conditions
• Meets NSF 14, Federal Specification L-P-320A, FHA UM-79A, and ASTM D2665, F1866, D1784, and D3311 standards
• DWV schedule wall thickness appropriate for gravity-flow drain and vent systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solvent-weld fitting for Schedule DWV PVC piping systems using 12-inch and 8-inch nominal pipe. Suitable for use wherever NSF 14 and ASTM D2665 compliant PVC DWV fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable plumbing code, such as the IPC or UPC, and any local amendments. Shut off flow to the affected drain line and ensure the pipe is clean and dry before applying primer and solvent cement to hub connections. Use a PVC primer and solvent cement rated for the pipe schedule and ambient temperature range. Do not apply cement to a wet or contaminated surface, and allow adequate cure time before restoring flow per the cement manufacturer instructions.
