Dependable Transitions with the 3 inch x 3 inch x 1-1/2 inch PVC DWV Reducing Sanitary Tee

The 3 inch x 3 inch x 1-1/2 inch PVC DWV Reducing Sanitary Tee is engineered to support efficient directional changes and size transitions in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems. Constructed from durable PVC, it offers corrosion resistance and mechanical strength for demanding job site conditions.

Professional Advantages

This tee fitting delivers critical benefits to installers working under tight timeframes and inspection requirements:

• Solvent Weld Ends – Allows for a permanent, secure bond between components using standard solvent cement procedures.
• Schedule 40 Wall Thickness – Suitable for gravity flow DWV systems in both residential and commercial installations.
• Injection-Molded Accuracy – Uniform dimensions and smooth interior walls promote consistent flow and reduce turbulence at branch intersections.
• Reduced Branch Outlet – Sized at 1-1/2 inch to transition down from the 3 inch main line while maintaining adequate venting and drainage capacity.

Installation Considerations

Compatible with standard 3 inch and 1-1/2 inch nominal PVC pipe. Use appropriate primer and solvent cement for installation. Ensure vertical or horizontal alignment meets local code for directional flow and branch take-off positioning. Cutting and fitting should follow ASTM D2665 or local DWV requirements.

Specifications

• Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
• Size: 3 inch x 3 inch x 1-1/2 inch
• Type: Reducing Sanitary Tee
• Standard: Conforms to ASTM D2665 and CSA B181.2 for DWV applications
• Configuration: Slip x Slip x Slip

Application

This reducing tee is typically used in horizontal drain configurations to transition from a 3-inch main line to a 1-1/2 inch branch. It is suitable for use behind walls or in floor systems where vertical clearance is a concern and clean-out or fixture tie-ins are required.

Note for Contractors

Always verify directional flow, slope requirements, and proper venting techniques per the UPC or IPC code in force. Reducing tees should not be used in vent-only lines unless code approved.

The 3 inch x 3 inch x 1-1/2 inch DWV Reducing Sanitary Tee is a staple in system layouts where space efficiency and drainage flow optimization are essential. Specify this fitting for consistent performance across both new construction and renovation scopes.
