Description
ABS DWV Reducing Sanitary Tee (HUB x HUB x HUB)
ABS DWV Reducing Sanitary Tees provide a smooth branch connection while transitioning between different pipe sizes in non-pressure drain, waste, and vent systems.
Featuring hub connections on all three ends, this fitting is designed to connect compatible ABS DWV piping while allowing a reduced-size branch or run connection within the system. The sanitary-pattern branch helps direct flow into the main line while supporting efficient drainage and minimizing abrupt 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 piping run and accept compatible ABS DWV pipe for solvent-cement installation.
Reducing Branch Connection
The third hub provides the branch connection and may be a different nominal size than the main run, depending on the specific fitting variation.
Reducing Sanitary Tee Design
The reducing sanitary tee combines a branch connection and pipe-size transition in one molded ABS fitting.
The sanitary-pattern branch uses a curved transition into the main run, helping guide drainage flow while reducing abrupt changes in direction.
The reducing configuration allows a smaller branch or differing run size to connect into the system without requiring a separate reducing fitting.

Installation
Verify all three nominal hub sizes before installation and identify which connection or connections provide the size reduction.
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 first to confirm branch orientation and proper connection of each pipe size.
Apply compatible ABS solvent cement as required and fully seat each pipe into its corresponding hub while maintaining correct run and branch alignment.
Allow completed joints to cure according to the solvent cement manufacturer's recommendations before placing the drainage or vent 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 reducing sanitary tee used for?
It is used to create a branch connection while transitioning between different pipe sizes in a non-pressure ABS drain, waste, or vent system.
What does HUB x HUB x HUB mean?
It means all three connections are hubs designed to accept compatible ABS DWV pipe for solvent-cement installation.
What makes this fitting reducing?
At least one of the hub connections is a different nominal size from another connection, allowing the fitting to transition between different pipe sizes.
What makes this a sanitary tee?
The branch uses a curved sanitary-pattern transition intended to guide flow into the main piping run more smoothly than an abrupt square intersection.
Which connection is reduced?
The reduced connection depends on the specific size configuration of the fitting. Verify the listed variation dimensions before ordering.
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 should I verify before ordering?
Confirm all three hub sizes, which connection is reduced, the required branch orientation, mating ABS pipe sizes, and the intended non-pressure DWV application.
