Description
ABS DWV 45 Wye (HUB x HUB x HUB)
ABS DWV 45 Wyes provide a smooth 45-degree branch connection for non-pressure drain, waste, and vent piping systems.
Featuring hub connections on all three ends, this fitting is designed to connect compatible ABS DWV pipe while introducing a branch line into the main run at a gradual 45-degree angle. The wye configuration supports efficient drainage flow and helps reduce turbulence compared with more abrupt branch transitions. Manufactured for ABS DWV service, it meets recognized standards including ASTM D2661, CSA B181.1, and NSF Standard 14.

Connection Configuration
Main Run Connections
Two hub connections form the primary ABS DWV piping run and accept compatible pipe for solvent-cement installation.
45-Degree Branch
The third hub forms the branch connection and enters the main run at approximately 45 degrees for a gradual directional transition.
45 Wye Design
The 45 wye is designed to introduce a branch line into the main drainage run at a gradual angle rather than through an abrupt perpendicular connection.
This geometry supports smoother flow through the junction and is commonly used in horizontal and other code-approved drainage configurations.
All three hub connections are designed for compatible ABS solvent-cement joining in non-pressure DWV systems.

Installation
Verify all three nominal hub sizes before installation and confirm the intended main-run and branch orientation.
Cut all mating ABS pipe ends square and remove burrs. Clean and prepare the pipe and hub surfaces according to accepted ABS solvent-cement installation procedures.
Dry-fit the complete assembly before applying solvent cement to confirm proper branch direction and pipe alignment.
Apply compatible ABS solvent cement as required and fully seat each pipe into its corresponding hub while maintaining correct alignment.
Allow completed joints to cure according to the solvent cement manufacturer's recommendations before placing the drainage system into service.
Our piping specialists can help review your main-run size, branch size, fitting orientation, and ABS DWV compatibility before you order.

What is an ABS DWV 45 wye used for?
It is used to connect a branch line into a main ABS DWV piping run at approximately a 45-degree angle.
What does HUB x HUB x HUB mean?
It means all three connections are hub-style connections designed to accept compatible ABS DWV pipe.
Why use a wye instead of a standard tee?
A wye introduces the branch at a more gradual angle, which supports smoother directional flow in appropriate drainage applications.
What angle does the branch enter the main run?
The branch enters at approximately 45 degrees.
Does this fitting require solvent cement?
Yes. All three hub connections are intended for compatible ABS solvent-cement installation.
Is this fitting intended for pressure systems?
No. This fitting is intended for non-pressure drain, waste, vent, sewer, and general drainage applications.
Can it be used for compressed air or gas?
No. The supplied product information states that ABS DWV fittings are not intended for transporting compressed air or gas.
Can this fitting be used for pressure testing?
No. The supplied product information states that ABS DWV fittings should not be used for pressure testing.
What is the maximum operating temperature?
The supplied product information specifies applications where operating temperatures do not exceed 140°F.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm all three hub sizes, branch orientation, main-run direction, mating ABS DWV pipe sizes, and intended non-pressure drainage application.
