Value Collection 401-585 Pvc Reducing Tee 8x8x6 Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 401-585 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducing tee fitting designed for use in gravity-flow and low-pressure piping systems. It connects an 8-inch main run to a 6-inch branch line using all-slip end connections, making it compatible with standard solvent-cement joining methods. Fabricated from PVC, this fitting resists corrosion, scale buildup, and many common chemicals found in drain, waste, and vent or industrial fluid-handling applications. At 8.67 pounds, the fitting is substantial in size and suited for commercial or larger residential installations where pipe diameter transitions are required in a single, compact component.

This reducing tee is used in drain, waste, vent, and cold-water distribution systems where an 8-inch main line must branch down to a 6-inch lateral. Typical installation scenarios include commercial plumbing rough-in, industrial process piping, and large-diameter irrigation or water-management systems. The all-slip configuration requires solvent cement and primer on all three ports prior to assembly, providing a permanent, leak-resistant joint once cured.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard pressure and gravity-drain service
• All-slip end connections on all three ports for solvent-cement assembly
• Reduces from 8-inch main run to 6-inch branch in a single fitting
• PVC construction resists corrosion, chemical attack, and scale buildup
• Compact tee geometry minimizes installation footprint at large pipe diameters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with Schedule 40 PVC pipe systems using 8-inch and 6-inch nominal pipe sizes with solvent-cement slip connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and drain the water supply or isolate the pipe section completely before cutting into an existing line. Clean and dry all mating surfaces, apply approved PVC primer, and follow with a compatible solvent cement on both the pipe ends and the fitting sockets before assembly. Allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer instructions before restoring flow.
