Macomb Group Approved 875-040 Pvc Sch 80 4 Inch Socket Y

Product Description

The MACOMB GROUP APPROVED 875-040 is a Schedule 80 PVC wye (Y) fitting sized at 4 inches, designed for use in pressure-rated piping systems. Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40 pipe, making this fitting suitable for demanding fluid handling applications. The socket (slip) end connections allow for solvent-cement joining, creating a permanent, leak-resistant bond. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting to branch a main line at an angle, directing flow in multiple directions within a single run.

This wye fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing, industrial process piping, irrigation systems, and chemical handling lines where PVC material is appropriate. The 4-inch size suits main distribution lines and larger branch applications. Socket connections require standard PVC primer and solvent cement and are compatible with Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 pipe of the same nominal diameter.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• Socket (slip) end connections for solvent-cement joining
• Wye (Y) configuration for angled branch connections in a piping run
• PVC construction provides corrosion resistance in water, chemical, and irrigation applications
• 4-inch nominal size suits main distribution and large branch lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting compatible with 4-inch nominal Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using solvent-cement socket connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Use the appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 80 fittings, and allow full cure time before pressurizing the system. Do not apply heat or use incompatible solvents, as these can compromise the integrity of PVC socket joints.
