Reduced Wye, Socket PVC Schedule 40 2" x 3/4" (475-248)

The 475-248 is a PVC Schedule 40 reduced wye fitting with a 2" socket run and a 3/4" socket branch outlet, all joined by solvent cement welding per ASTM D2564. The wye configuration positions the branch at a 45-degree angled takeoff from the mainline rather than the perpendicular 90-degree branch of a standard tee, producing a smoother, lower-turbulence flow transition at the branch junction that reduces flow restriction and minimizes the pressure loss and solids accumulation risk associated with abrupt directional changes at the branch point.

Manufactured from rigid PVC compound conforming to ASTM D1784 cell classification requirements, this fitting delivers the corrosion resistance, chemical compatibility, and long service life associated with Schedule 40 PVC across a wide range of drainage, waste, vent, and low-pressure distribution applications. The reduced configuration — 2" run stepping down to a 3/4" branch — is the most aggressive size reduction in the 2" reduced wye series, allowing the smallest common drain branch size to tie into a 2" mainline while preserving full mainline flow capacity at the junction.

The 3/4" branch of the 475-248 targets the narrowest category of low-volume drain connections in residential and commercial plumbing: individual condensate drain taps, small utility drain points, equipment overflow lines, and other minimal-flow discharge connections that must tie into a larger 2" collection main without disrupting mainline flow or creating a restriction at the junction. The significant 2" to 3/4" size differential makes this the appropriate fitting when the branch is a minor tributary to the mainline rather than a meaningful flow contributor — the branch introduces a small, controlled discharge into the 2" drain run while the mainline carries the dominant flow volume unimpeded. As the smallest-branch SKU in the 475-24x series, the 475-248 completes the lower end of the range below the 475-249 (1" branch), 475-250 (1-1/4" branch), and 475-251 (1-1/2" branch), providing coverage for the full spectrum of branch sizes commonly encountered in 2" drain consolidation applications. Where a direction change is also needed at the branch connection point, pairing this wye with a 45-degree elbow produces the standard DWV sweep configuration used throughout residential and commercial drain rough-in.

Industries & Applications:

• Drain, Waste & Vent (DWV) — Connecting 3/4" minimal-flow drain taps, equipment overflow lines, and small utility discharge points to 2" sanitary waste consolidation runs and drain stacks with smooth, flow-aligned branch geometry that preserves mainline drainage capacity
• HVAC & Mechanical — Consolidating 3/4" condensate drain lines from air handlers, fan coils, mini-split systems, and cooling equipment into 2" primary condensate collection mains in commercial and residential mechanical installations
• Commercial Plumbing — Waste line consolidation in commercial buildings where 3/4" equipment overflow, utility discharge, and minor drain branch lines tie into 2" primary waste runs in mechanical rooms, utility corridors, and equipment areas
• Residential Construction — Drain rough-in where 3/4" overflow, relief valve discharge, or appliance drain lines connect to 2" main drain runs in utility spaces, mechanical closets, and under-slab installations
• Industrial Drainage — Low-turbulence branch connections in gravity-flow industrial drain systems where 3/4" equipment drain taps and low-volume process discharge lines join 2" collection mains with minimal impact on mainline flow
• Municipal & Site Drainage — Minor branch connections in gravity-flow site drain collection systems where small-diameter 3/4" discharge points tie into 2" consolidation mains with clean, flow-aligned transitions
