Description
PVC SDR 35 Reducing Tee (Hub x Hub x Hub)
PVC SDR 35 Reducing Tees provide a three-way branch connection while allowing a transition between different pipe sizes in gravity-flow, non-pressure sewer and drainage systems.
Featuring hub connections on all three openings, this reducing tee is designed to connect compatible SDR 35 PVC pipe while incorporating a smaller connection where a branch or run size reduction is required. The straight-through run maintains the primary piping path, while the reducing branch provides a connection point for a different nominal pipe size. Constructed from durable PVC, the fitting offers resistance to corrosion, moisture, soil exposure, and many compatible chemicals for dependable use in sanitary sewer, stormwater, wastewater, and underground drainage applications.

Connection Configuration
Run Hub
One hub accepts compatible SDR 35 PVC pipe along the main run of the system.
Reducing Branch Hub
The branch hub accepts the corresponding smaller compatible pipe size to create the reducing branch connection.
Outlet Hub
The opposite run hub accepts the continuing SDR 35 PVC pipe section.
Reducing Tee Design
The reducing tee combines a straight-through main run, a perpendicular branch, and a size transition within one molded fitting.
This configuration is useful where a smaller pipe must connect into a larger SDR 35 drainage line without requiring a separate reducer or reducing bushing at the branch connection.
The three hub-style openings allow compatible PVC pipe to connect directly to the fitting using solvent-weld joints.

Construction Details
Manufactured from durable PVC, this reducing tee is designed for long-term use in underground sewer and drainage environments.
The material provides resistance to corrosion, moisture, soil conditions, and many compatible chemicals while remaining lightweight for easier handling and installation.
Precision-molded hub connections help provide proper fit and alignment with compatible SDR 35 PVC pipe, while the reducing branch incorporates the required size transition directly into the fitting body.
Installation
Verify all three nominal connection sizes before installation and confirm which opening is the reducing connection.
Confirm compatibility with the SDR 35 PVC pipe sizes used in the main run and branch line.
Determine the intended flow direction, branch orientation, and size transition before assembling the fitting.
Confirm that a standard reducing tee configuration is appropriate for the intended application and permitted by applicable plumbing, sewer, stormwater, or drainage requirements.
Cut all mating pipe ends square and remove burrs, dirt, and debris that could interfere with proper insertion.
Clean and prepare the pipe ends and fitting hubs according to accepted PVC solvent-weld installation procedures.
Dry-fit all three pipe sections before applying primer or solvent cement to confirm size placement, insertion depth, branch orientation, alignment, and drainage slope.
Apply approved PVC primer and solvent cement as required and fully seat each pipe section into its corresponding hub.
Maintain proper fitting orientation and pipe support while the joints set.
Allow completed solvent-weld joints to cure according to the solvent cement manufacturer's recommendations before backfilling or placing the system into service.
Our piping specialists can help review your main-run size, branch size, SDR 35 pipe configuration, and sewer or drainage application before you order.

What is a PVC SDR 35 reducing tee used for?
It is used to connect three compatible SDR 35 PVC pipe sections while transitioning one of the connections to a different nominal pipe size.
What does Hub x Hub x Hub mean?
It means all three openings are hub-style connections designed to receive compatible SDR 35 PVC pipe.
What makes this fitting a reducing tee?
At least one of the three connections is a different nominal size, allowing a smaller pipe to connect into a larger piping configuration.
Is the branch always the reduced connection?
The supplied description identifies a reducing branch design, but exact size orientation should be verified from the specific fitting variation or manufacturer dimensional data before ordering.
How is this different from a standard SDR 35 tee?
A standard tee typically uses matching nominal connection sizes, while a reducing tee incorporates a different connection size within the fitting.
Can a reducing tee eliminate a separate reducer?
Yes. Where the fitting sizes match the required layout, the built-in size transition can reduce the need for an additional reducing fitting.
How is the fitting installed?
All three hub connections are intended for compatible PVC solvent-weld installation.
Is this fitting intended for pressure service?
No. The supplied product information identifies it for underground, non-pressure SDR 35 sewer and drainage systems.
Can it be used for stormwater systems?
Yes. Stormwater drainage is identified as a suitable application.
Can it be used for wastewater systems?
Yes. Wastewater applications are included in the supplied product information.
Can it be used in sanitary sewer piping?
The supplied information identifies sanitary sewer applications, but standard tee geometry may not be appropriate for every gravity-flow sanitary connection. Verify the fitting orientation and applicable code requirements before installation.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm all three nominal connection sizes, identify which connection is reduced, verify the intended branch orientation, and confirm that the reducing tee configuration is appropriate for the system.
