The DIVERSITECH 5-409 is a 3/4-inch Schedule 40 PVC running trap (R trap) with slip x slip connections, designed for use in condensate drainage, irrigation, and general plumbing applications. The Schedule 40 wall construction provides smooth inner walls that reduce pressure drop and resist chemical attack and corrosion. Rated to 140 degrees F, this fitting handles the typical temperature demands of residential and light commercial condensate and water lines. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this fitting as part of condensate drain systems or low-pressure water piping runs.
The 5-409 suits residential, industrial, and irrigation or agricultural piping systems where a running trap configuration is required. Its slip x slip end connections accept standard 3/4-inch PVC pipe with solvent-cement joints, making it compatible with widely available Schedule 40 PVC piping systems. HVAC technicians commonly use this trap style in condensate drain lines to maintain the water seal required to block air movement through the drain. It is also used in irrigation manifolds and general low-pressure water distribution lines.
Key Features
Schedule 40 PVC construction resists corrosion and common chemicals found in condensate and irrigation water
Smooth inner walls minimize pressure drop through the fitting
Slip x slip end connections accept solvent-cement bonding for a leak-free joint
Running trap (R trap) style maintains a water seal to restrict airflow in drain lines
140 degrees F maximum temperature rating suits standard condensate and cold-water applications
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/4-inch Schedule 40 PVC piping systems in residential, industrial, and irrigation or agricultural applications.
Installation Notes
Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply or isolate the condensate drain system before cutting into existing piping. Clean and dry pipe ends before applying PVC solvent cement, and allow full cure time before restoring flow. Do not exceed the 140 degrees F temperature rating or use this fitting on pressurized systems beyond Schedule 40 PVC pressure ratings for the pipe size.
