Copperfit 1A1837 Abs Dwv 45 Degree Wye 3 X 2 Inches

Product Description

The COPPERFIT 1A1837 is a 45-degree wye fitting manufactured from ABS plastic for use in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems. It features a 3-inch main opening and a 2-inch branch outlet, allowing a lateral connection to enter the main drain line at a 45-degree angle. This geometry promotes smooth, downward-flowing drainage while reducing turbulence at the junction. The fitting weighs 0.82 pounds and is sized for standard residential and light commercial DWV piping configurations. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of wye during new construction or remodel work where branch drain lines tie into a larger main line.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial DWV applications where a 3-inch main drain line accepts a 2-inch branch line. Typical installations include bathroom sink drains, laundry standpipes, or similar branch drain connections tying into a 3-inch stack or horizontal main line. The 45-degree angle is commonly specified where a standard 90-degree sanitary tee is not permitted by code or where flow characteristics require a shallower entry angle.

Key Features

• 45-degree wye geometry promotes smooth drainage flow at branch connections
• 3-inch main by 2-inch branch configuration for common residential DWV layouts
• ABS construction offers impact resistance and compatibility with standard ABS solvent-weld cement
• Lightweight at 0.82 pounds, easing handling in overhead or confined-space installations
• Order increment of 1 allows single-unit purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 3-inch by 2-inch ABS DWV piping systems in residential and light commercial drain, waste, and vent applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or applicable local codes governing DWV systems. Shut off water supply and ensure the drain line is clear and dry before cutting in the fitting. ABS wye fittings are joined using ABS solvent-weld cement — do not use PVC cement on ABS pipe without a transition primer approved for mixed-material joints. Verify proper slope and venting requirements for the branch line before finalizing connections.
