Pro-source 90381801009 Pvc Wye 6 Inch Schedule 80 Slip

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 90381801009 is a 6-inch Schedule 80 PVC wye fitting designed for demanding drain, waste, and vent (DWV) or industrial piping applications where higher pressure ratings and greater wall thickness are required. Constructed from PVC, this wye accepts slip end connections for solvent-welded joints. At 15.39 pounds, the fitting reflects the substantial wall thickness characteristic of Schedule 80 construction. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on commercial or industrial systems will find this fitting suited to high-stress flow conditions that exceed the capacity of Schedule 40 components.

This fitting is appropriate for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems, industrial process piping, and irrigation infrastructure where 6-inch branch takeoffs are required. The wye configuration allows a branch line to join or split from the main run at an angle, reducing turbulence compared to a tee fitting. The slip connections require solvent cement for a permanent, leak-tight bond. This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers working in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local equivalents.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40 PVC fittings of the same diameter
• 6-inch slip end connections accept solvent-cement bonding for a permanent joint
• PVC construction offers corrosion resistance in chemical and moisture-heavy environments
• Wye geometry reduces flow turbulence at branch connections compared to standard tee fittings
• Single-piece construction with no mechanical fasteners or gaskets to maintain

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 6-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using slip-type solvent-weld connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in compliance with the applicable International Plumbing Code or local authority having jurisdiction. Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system completely before cutting into any existing line. Clean and dry all mating pipe surfaces, apply the appropriate PVC primer and Schedule 80-rated solvent cement per the cement manufacturer's instructions, and allow full cure time before restoring flow or pressure. Do not use this fitting with pipe schedules or materials for which it is not rated.
