Description
ABS DWV Reducing Vent Tee (HUB x HUB x HUB)
ABS DWV Reducing Vent Tees provide a three-way vent connection while transitioning between different nominal 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 where a vent branch or main vent connection must transition between different pipe sizes. The reducing configuration helps eliminate the need for a separate reducer in certain layouts while maintaining a compact tee-style connection. Manufactured for ABS DWV service, it meets recognized standards including ASTM D2661, CSA B181.1, and NSF Standard 14.

Connection Configuration
Main Vent Connections
Two hub connections form the primary vent path 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 Vent Tee Design
The reducing vent tee combines a standard three-way tee configuration with a pipe-size transition in one molded ABS fitting.
This design can simplify venting layouts where a smaller or differently sized branch must connect to a larger main vent line without adding a separate reducing fitting.
Because the exact reduced connection depends on the specific fitting variation, all three nominal sizes should be confirmed before ordering.

Installation
Verify all three nominal hub sizes before installation and identify which connection provides 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 assembly first to confirm main vent orientation, branch location, and correct pipe-size transition before applying solvent cement.
Apply compatible ABS solvent cement as required and fully seat each pipe into its corresponding hub while maintaining proper alignment.
Allow completed joints to cure according to the solvent cement manufacturer's recommendations before placing the vent system into service.
Our piping specialists can help review your main vent size, branch size, fitting orientation, and ABS DWV compatibility before you order.

What is an ABS DWV reducing vent tee used for?
It is used to provide a three-way vent connection while transitioning between different ABS DWV pipe sizes.
What does HUB x HUB x HUB mean?
It means all three connections are hub-style connections designed to accept compatible ABS DWV pipe.
What makes this fitting reducing?
At least one hub connection is a different nominal size from another connection, allowing the fitting to transition between different pipe sizes.
Which connection is reduced?
The reduced connection depends on the specific size variation. Verify all three connection sizes before ordering.
Is a reducing vent tee the same as a reducing sanitary tee?
No. Although both provide a size transition, this product is specifically identified as a vent tee and is intended for appropriate vent piping applications.
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 ABS DWV 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 nominal hub sizes, which connection is reduced, branch orientation, mating ABS DWV pipe sizes, and the intended non-pressure vent application.
