3 inch x 1-1/2 inch ABS DWV Reducing Sanitary Tee – Built for Consistent Drainage Performance

The 3 inch x 1-1/2 inch ABS DWV Reducing Sanitary Tee is designed for use in non-pressurized sanitary drainage systems, allowing for directional changes and pipe size transitions while maintaining consistent flow and system venting. With hub-end connections and a flow-efficient configuration, it supports optimal waste and vent performance in residential and commercial systems.

Key Benefits of Professional-Grade ABS DWV Tees

• ✔️ Solvent-Weld Hub Connections – Designed for fast, secure joints using standard ABS solvent cement bonding.
• ✔️ Impact-Resistant ABS Resin – Suitable for demanding applications; resists cracking, warping, and degradation from vibration or handling.
• ✔️ Flow-Optimized Sweep Radius – Promotes smooth directional change, reducing the chance of blockages and promoting better flow characteristics.
• ✔️ Reduction from 3 inch to 1-1/2 inch – Allows for the integration of smaller branch lines into a larger main, commonly used for fixture tie-ins like lavatories or showers.
• ✔️ Uniform Wall Thickness – Supports code compliance and predictable solvent welding performance.

Installation Considerations

This fitting is installed using solvent cement and is intended for use in gravity-flow DWV systems. Ensure that pipe ends are properly chamfered and cleaned prior to bonding. Follow ASTM installation procedures for solvent-welded ABS systems. For vertical or horizontal installations, ensure that the sweep orientation matches local plumbing code requirements.

Application Use

Typically used in sanitary drainage systems to tie a branch waste line into a vertical or horizontal drain. Common installations include connection points for sinks, tubs, or washing machines into the main stack or lateral waste line.

Field Insight

ABS is preferred in many cold-weather installations due to its resistance to brittle failure at low temperatures. Its lightweight composition allows for easier handling and faster assembly on the jobsite.

The 3 inch x 1-1/2 inch ABS DWV Reducing Sanitary Tee is an essential component for efficient system design, providing reliable performance and long-term durability in vented waste configurations. Ensure your drainage system is built to specification by using fittings that meet rigorous dimensional and material standards.
