Ipex 112321 Dwv Reducing Wye Abs Sch 40 1-1/2 X 1/2 in

Product Description

The IPEX 112321 is a DWV reducing wye fitting designed for drain, waste, and vent piping systems in residential and light commercial plumbing applications. Molded from ABS plastic in a Schedule 40 wall thickness, this fitting connects a 1-1/2 inch main line to a 1/2 inch branch via a hose barb outlet, with hub connections on both run ends. The black ABS construction resists impact and chemical exposure common in drain line environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a reduced-diameter branch connection is needed within a gravity-flow DWV assembly.

This fitting is suited for residential drain and vent rough-in work, appliance drain connections, and branch tie-ins in Schedule 40 ABS DWV systems. The 1/2 inch hose barb branch is commonly used for appliance condensate or drain hose connections, such as those from washing machines, dishwashers, or HVAC condensate lines that terminate into the drain stack. It is manufactured domestically and molded to consistent dimensional tolerances for reliable hub socket joints.

Key Features

• Reducing wye configuration: 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1/2 inch nominal for branch-to-main connections
• Hub x Hub x Hose Barb end style accommodates both solvent-weld and hose slip connections
• Schedule 40 wall rating for standard residential and light commercial DWV service
• Molded ABS construction — black, impact-resistant, and compatible with ABS solvent cement
• Domestically manufactured for consistent dimensional quality

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 ABS DWV piping systems where a 1-1/2 inch main line requires a 1/2 inch hose barb branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off water supply and ensure the drain line is empty and dry before cutting into an existing system. Use ABS-rated solvent cement on the hub connections and allow full cure time before restoring flow. The hose barb branch should be secured with an appropriate hose clamp to maintain a leak-free connection.
