Wye, Slip x Slip x Slip PVC Schedule 80 2" (875-020)

The 2" PVC Schedule 80 Wye (Part No. 875-020) is a pressure-rated, gray-body fitting designed to introduce a branch connection into a piping system at a 45-degree angle rather than the 90-degree branch of a standard tee. The slip x slip x slip (socket) configuration on all three ports accepts solvent-cement joints, producing a rigid, leak-resistant assembly suited to the elevated pressures and chemically demanding environments where Schedule 80 is specified.

The angled branch geometry of the wye offers a distinct hydraulic advantage over a standard tee in applications where flow dynamics matter. By directing branch flow at 45 degrees, the wye reduces turbulence and pressure drop at the branch point compared to the sharp 90-degree turn of a tee — making it the preferred fitting in drainage, low-velocity process lines, gravity-flow systems, and any application where minimizing head loss at the junction improves system efficiency or reduces the risk of solids accumulation and blockage.

At 2", this wye is well-suited to a broad range of industrial, commercial, and municipal applications where a same-size branch connection is needed and flow characteristics at the junction are a design consideration. The straight run ports maintain full 2" flow capacity through the main line, while the 45-degree branch provides a clean, low-resistance entry for the lateral connection.

Manufactured from Type I, Grade I PVC compound, this fitting conforms to ASTM D2467 dimensional standards and provides the increased wall thickness and pressure ratings that define Schedule 80 over Schedule 40. Compatible with Schedule 80 PVC pipe and solvent cements conforming to ASTM D2564.

Industries & Applications:

• Industrial & Chemical Processing — Low-turbulence branch connections on chemical-resistant process lines where minimizing pressure drop at the junction is a system design requirement
• Municipal Water & Wastewater — Drainage and collection system branch connections where the 45-degree entry angle reduces solids accumulation and improves flow characteristics
• Commercial Plumbing — Drain, waste, and vent (DWV) configurations on Schedule 80 systems where a wye is preferred over a tee for its smoother flow transition
• Irrigation — Branch feed connections on pressurized irrigation mains where flow efficiency at the junction is a design consideration
• Industrial Drainage — Gravity-flow and low-velocity drainage systems in manufacturing and processing facilities where a wye's angled branch reduces the risk of solids settling at the junction
• Mining & Oil Field — Corrosive fluid handling and slurry systems where the wye's reduced turbulence profile helps manage particulate-laden flows at branch points
• Aquaculture & Water Treatment — Recirculating system branch connections where smooth, low-turbulence flow transitions protect aquatic life and treatment system performance
