Reducing Tee, Slip x Slip x Slip PVC Schedule 40 6" x 6" x 3" (401-530)

The 6" x 6" x 3" PVC Schedule 40 Reducing Tee (401-530) provides a direct, solvent-weld solution for branching a 3" outlet off a 6" main line — no bushings, no adapters, no added leak points at the branch. The slip x slip x slip configuration means all three ports are solvent-welded, delivering a strong, permanent connection suited to the demands of large-diameter commercial and industrial piping systems.

Manufactured to Schedule 40 standards from rigid PVC, this fitting is rated at 180 PSI at 73°F and carries NSF 61 certification for potable water contact. Dimensional compliance with ASTM D2466 ensures compatibility with Schedule 40 pipe and fittings from major manufacturers across all three ports.

The 3" branch outlet — a full step down from the 6" run — suits applications where secondary or tertiary lines carry significantly lower flow volumes than the primary distribution header. This size combination is well suited to municipal water systems, large commercial facilities, and industrial process piping where header-to-branch reductions are engineered into the system design rather than field-adapted.

Industries & Applications:

• Municipal & Civil Water Distribution — stepped branch connections off large-diameter water mains feeding smaller service lines
• Commercial Plumbing — main supply headers branching down to restroom cores, mechanical rooms, or secondary risers
• Industrial Process Piping — controlled flow diversion in cooling water, process water, and plant utility systems
• Irrigation & Agriculture — high-volume mainline headers reducing to zone supply lines
• Water & Wastewater Treatment — distribution manifold branches in treatment plant process piping
• Aquaculture — large recirculating system headers stepping down to individual tank or raceway supply lines
