3" PVC DWV Sanitary Tee – Designed for Dependable Drainage Systems

The 3" PVC DWV Sanitary Tee is engineered for use in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems where efficient flow and code compliance are essential. This fitting enables a branch connection perpendicular to the main line and is commonly used in horizontal-to-vertical transitions in residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Why This Fitting Delivers

• ✅ Formulated for DWV Systems Manufactured from Schedule 40 PVC for lightweight handling and chemical resistance in non-pressurized drain lines.
• ✅ Socket End Connections Designed for solvent-weld joining, providing strong, leak-resistant bonds when installed with appropriate primer and cement.
• ✅ Standard Dimensions Built to ASTM D2665 specifications for compatibility with other DWV components and fittings.
• ✅ Certified Performance Meets UPC (Uniform Plumbing Code) requirements and is NSF listed for use in gravity drainage applications.

Specifications

• Material: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) – Schedule 40, white
• Nominal Size: 3" x 3" x 3"
• Connection Type: Slip x Slip x Slip (Socket ends)
• Standards: ASTM D2665, NSF-DWV certified
• Use: Non-pressure DWV applications

Installation Notes

Installation requires proper solvent welding using ASTM F656 primer and ASTM D2564 cement. Allow for appropriate curing time to achieve full joint integrity. The tee should be oriented to direct flow properly; horizontal use requires correct fall per plumbing code.

Common Applications

• • Connecting horizontal fixture arms to vertical waste stacks
• • Venting branch lines in sanitary systems
• • DWV transitions within wall cavities or crawl spaces

Did You Know?

Sanitary tees are not interchangeable with wye fittings in horizontal flow conditions. For horizontal-to-horizontal junctions, a combination wye or long-turn tee-wye should be used instead, per code requirements.

With its structural reliability and compliance with key standards, the 3" PVC DWV Sanitary Tee is an essential component for maintaining efficient waste and vent flow. It supports consistent installations that align with modern building practices and plumbing regulations.
