Wye, Slip x Slip x Slip PVC Schedule 40 6" (475-060)

The 6" PVC Schedule 40 Wye (475-060) is a three-port, 45° branch fitting used to split or merge flow in drainage, irrigation, and industrial piping systems. With all three ports configured as slip (socket) connections, this wye accepts standard solvent cement for a fast, permanent, pressure-rated bond on Schedule 40 PVC pipe.

The wye's angled branch geometry reduces turbulence and flow resistance compared to a tee fitting, making it the preferred choice wherever smooth directional transitions and long-term flow efficiency are priorities — particularly in gravity-fed drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems and large-diameter irrigation mains.

Built to ASTM D2466 standards, this fitting handles the pressures and chemical exposures common in agricultural, commercial, and light industrial applications. The 6" size makes it well-suited for high-volume lines where maintaining flow capacity across a branch split is critical.

Industries & Applications:

Drainage & DWV Systems The 45° wye is a code-preferred fitting in drain, waste, and vent configurations. The angled branch minimizes flow obstructions and reduces clog risk compared to a straight tee in gravity-flow drain lines.

Agricultural & Irrigation Used in large-diameter mainline irrigation systems to branch off sub-mains or header manifolds, the 6" slip wye supports high-flow field distribution without costly pressure loss at the junction.

Municipal & Civil Infrastructure Stormwater collection, culvert systems, and municipal drainage networks use Schedule 40 wyes at collection points and outfall structures where flow consolidation or splitting is required.

Commercial & Industrial Plumbing Large commercial buildings, processing facilities, and industrial plants use 6" wyes in process drainage, condensate collection, and cooling water return lines where branch routing must maintain gravity flow.

Aquaculture & Water Treatment Wye fittings support distribution manifolds in aquaculture raceways, pond aeration headers, and water treatment plant piping where controlled flow splitting across multiple channels is required.
