Schedule 80 CPVC Wyes

Schedule 80 CPVC wyes are used in plumbing systems to branch or combine an additional network line with a main pipeline. CPVC wyes are Y-shaped pipe fittings with three openings that allow fluid flow to be merged together or split in different directions at a 45 degree angle. The Y-shaped design allows for smooth liquid flow at the intersection point with minimal pressure loss and friction. Schedule 80 CPVC wyes are also known as CPVC 45 degree wyes, industrial pipe wyes, and high pressure wyes. They are made to branch flows, combine flows, and redirect fluid flows primarily in plumbing systems that handle hot liquids, corrosive media, chemicals, and that have high working pressures.

CPVC stands for chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, a strong, synthetic thermoplastic that offers better chemical resistance and higher temperature ranges compared to regular PVC. They are often used to handle acids, caustics, brines, alcohols, solvents, hydrocarbons, and oxidizers. CPVC 45 degree wyes are rated for liquid temperatures up to 200°F (93°C). CPVC wyes are manufactured to Schedule 80 sizing standard that produces thicker pipe walls that can withstand higher liquid pressures than Schedule 40 fittings. These characteristics make Schedule 80 CPVC wyes suitable for handling a wide range of liquids and conveyance systems across industrial, commercial, and residential applications.

Sch 80 CPVC wye sizes range from 1/2" to 4” in fitting diameter. CPVC wyes have three socket ends for slip-on joints and solvent weld connections. Schedule 80 CPVC wyes are recommended only for use with CPVC Schedule 80 pipes. 

Our heavy duty CPVC wye fittings are designed, tested, and made in the US to stringent specification standards by industry leading manufacturers. Schedule 80 CPVC wyes meet ASTM D1784 and ASTM F439 requirements to ensure their performance, quality, and reliability in installation and service for liquid handling. Our CPVC Schedule 80 wye fittings are NSF certified and approved for freshwater use and potable water systems.

CPVC is resistant to many commonly used chemicals, materials, and ingredients used across industrial, manufacturing, and commercial applications. Chemical compatibility should always be verified before installing and using any plumbing lines for chemical conveyance systems.

Due to their durability, versatility, and resistance to heat, corrosion, and chemicals, Schedule 80 CPVC wyes are used in a wide range of plumbing networks across industry sectors. They are used whenever a pipeline network needs to branch, combine, or redirect flow. Wyes branch a mainline into two smaller lines, such as when a supply line needs to be split to reach two distinct fixtures or equipment simultaneously. Wyes can combine flow incoming from two pipes or distinct pipelines into a single pipe, such as for drainage systems, cooling systems, dilutions, or non-reactive mixtures. In simple redirection applications, wye fittings provide a smooth 45 degree angle alternative to elbow fittings. 

In industrial and manufacturing plumbing systems, CPVC wyes are used to transport or combine pure chemicals, solutions, ingredients, and raw materials in feed lines, injection systems, chemical processing, and batch productions. CPVC wyes are used in hot and cold water or chemical distribution as Schedule 80 CPVC can handle the elevated temperature and pressure requirements. In irrigation systems, wye fittings are used to split water lines into smaller irrigation networks, especially in fertigation and pesticide applications.
