DWV Fittings

DWV fittings are used to connect, route, and modify the pipes, components, and fixtures used in drainage, waste, and venting systems. They are made to safely and effectively direct wastewater and sewage towards treatment systems or disposal points as well as gasses and exhaust fumes for ventilation. Drain waste vent (DWV) fittings are required by many plumbing codes and building design standards for residential, commercial, and industrial constructions to remove and prevent the backflow of wastes, gasses, and odors into living or working spaces. These fittings are installed to create a dedicated plumbing system for waste management and air flow to ensure adequate ventilation and maintain atmospheric pressure. 

DWV fittings are engineered to ensure the health and safety of building occupants by effectively removing waste materials and toxic gasses generated from daily activities and work processes. Properly installed DWV systems use these fittings to reduce the risk of blockages and backups and to maintain sanitary conditions. DWV fittings are essential to achieve these objectives and are indispensable components in modern plumbing systems. 

DWV fittings are available in a full selection of sizes and types. They are engineered with specific angles and shapes, such as tees, elbows, and traps, that each have a specific function in directing flow, preventing clogs, and allowing gasses to escape through vent pipes. Correct use of these fittings helps to maintain the right pressure balance and operation within such systems.

DWV fitting sizes range from 1-1/2” to 8” in diameter. Available size options depend on the fitting type. Various reducing DWV fittings are also available. PVC DWV fitting types include tees, wyes, couplings, adapters, bushings, caps, plugs, expansion joints, p-traps, closet flanges, and DWV elbows in a full catalog of types, angles, and options. DWV pipe fittings are made to Schedule 40 thickness standards and for use with other Schedule 40 pipes, fittings, and valves.

Connection options for PVC DWV fittings include slip socket, hub by spigot, hub by hub, socket by female threaded, and socket by male threaded. The fittings are primarily socket type connections for primer and pipe glue solvent weld installation. Spigot, hub, and threaded connections are available for certain models such as adapters, cleanouts, elbows, bends, and sweep fittings.

Our DWV PVC fittings are made in the USA by top, trusted manufacturers. They are made from ASTM D1784 Cell Class 12454 PVC material and meet ASTM D2665 standard requirements for drain, waste, vent applications. The pipe fittings are manufactured to Schedule 40 specifications for uniform sizing and thickness. These standards ensure DWV fittings are made from safe, durable materials that can withstand the demands of DWV applications. They are manufactured, tested, and rated to comply with local building and plumbing codes to meet regulations for public and environmental health.

DWV PVC fittings resist environmental corrosion such as rust, have excellent resistance against chemical vapors, low thermal absorption properties, and are electrically non-conductive. DWV fittings are rated for temperatures up 140°F (60°C). A minimum temperature of 32°F (0°C) is recommended for water-based pipe networks.

DWV fittings are used in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems. They are used in the installation and repair of sanitary systems that manage wastewater and gasses from kitchens, bathrooms, laundry facilities, as well as various industrial, manufacturing, and scientific processes. They are used to route plumbing from sinks, toilets, showers, appliances, and work equipment in commercial applications. DWV fittings are used to build onsite venting systems that expel gasses outside and in storm drainage systems to direct rain and stormwater away from structures. 

Our DWV pipe fittings are a leading choice in quality and performance. They meet the industry standards for DWV components codes and regulations and are precision engineered to meet the hard working demands of drain, waste, and vent plumbing systems. By adhering to high standards and premium materials, our products are built to meet and exceed expectations. For more information or details on contractor pricing, contact us.
