Tyler Pipe 1487 Cast Iron Soil Reducer 6x5 in Service Weight

Product Description

The TYLER PIPE 1487 is a service weight cast iron soil reducer used in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping systems. This fitting transitions a 6-inch hub down to a 5-inch hub, allowing plumbers to reduce pipe diameter within a soil stack or horizontal drain run. Cast iron construction provides durability and long service life in both above-ground and below-ground installations. Service weight designation indicates the standard wall thickness appropriate for residential and light commercial drain systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this fitting type.

This reducer is used in soil and waste piping systems where a diameter change is required between a 6-inch and 5-inch run. Common applications include vertical stack reductions, drain line transitions, and connections between differing pipe sizes in residential and commercial DWV systems. The cast iron material is well suited for applications requiring sound dampening, impact resistance, and compatibility with hub-and-spigot or no-hub coupling systems depending on the installation method.

Key Features

• Cast iron construction for durability and sound attenuation in drain systems
• Service weight wall thickness suitable for residential and light commercial DWV installations
• Reduces from 6-inch to 5-inch hub for stack or horizontal drain transitions
• Soil-type fitting designed for drain, waste, and vent piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for service weight cast iron soil pipe systems using 6-inch to 5-inch reducer connections in DWV applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off water supply and ensure the system is depressurized before cutting into any existing drain line. Connections may be made using lead and oakum, compression gaskets, or no-hub couplings depending on the system type and local code requirements. Do not overtighten mechanical couplings, as this can distort the fitting hub.
