Wye Socket, PVC Schedule 80 2" x 1-1/2" (875-251)

The 2" x 1-1/2" PVC Schedule 80 Reducing Wye Socket (875-251) combines the smooth, low-turbulence flow geometry of a 45° wye with the elevated pressure rating and chemical resistance of Schedule 80 gray PVC — making it a reliable choice for industrial process piping, chemical handling systems, and demanding commercial applications where a standard Schedule 40 fitting isn't specified.

The wye's 45° branch angle allows the 1-1/2" branch line to enter the 2" main run at a gradual angle, reducing turbulence and flow restriction compared to a standard 90° tee branch. All three ports use socket (slip) connections for solvent-welded joints, producing a permanent, pressure-rated assembly with consistent wall thickness and joint integrity throughout. The reducing branch configuration — 1-1/2" into a 2" run — eliminates the need for a separate reducer or bushing at the branch point, keeping the installation compact and the joint count low.

Manufactured to Schedule 80 specifications and dimensionally compliant with ASTM D2467, this fitting delivers the higher wall thickness and increased pressure rating that distinguishes Schedule 80 from its Schedule 40 counterpart. Gray PVC construction provides enhanced resistance to a broad range of chemicals, making this wye well suited to installations where fluid compatibility, corrosive environments, or system longevity under elevated pressure are primary design considerations. NSF 61 certification confirms suitability for potable water contact where required.

Industries & Applications:

• Chemical Processing — branch connections in chemical feed, dosing, and process fluid distribution systems requiring elevated pressure and chemical resistance
• Industrial Process Piping — low-turbulence flow diversion in plant utility, cooling water, and recirculating process systems
• Water & Wastewater Treatment — branch takeoffs in treatment plant process headers where Schedule 80 is specified for pressure or chemical compatibility
• Commercial & Industrial Plumbing — high-pressure branch connections in mechanical systems where Schedule 40 pressure ratings are insufficient
• Aquaculture & Food Processing — corrosion-resistant branch fittings in recirculating systems and washdown or sanitary fluid handling applications
• Irrigation & Agriculture — branch connections in high-pressure mainline systems where chemical injection or fertilizer dosing lines tie into primary distribution headers
