What is upvc Wye 4″ GM ?
Specifications
The following table outlines key specifications for a standard 4″ uPVC Schedule 40 Wye Pressure Fitting, based on industry standards like ASTM D2466 and NSF certification:
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Nominal Size | 4 inches (main run: 4″ x 4″; branch: 4″) – dimensions represented as A x B x C, where A and B are the main run sockets, and C is the 45° branch socket. |
| Material | Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (uPVC/PVC), white color for easy identification. |
| Schedule | Schedule 40 (medium wall thickness for balanced strength and cost). |
| Connection Type | Socket (slip) x Socket x Socket – requires primer and solvent cement for joining. |
| Pressure Rating | 100 PSI (pounds per square inch) at 73°F; derates with temperature increase. |
| Temperature Range | Maximum 140°F (60°C); suitable for cold water only (not for hot water or steam). |
| Standards Compliance | ASTM D1784 (pipe), ASTM D2466 (fittings), NSF/ANSI 61 (potable water certification). |
| Dimensions (approx.) | Outside diameter: ~4.5″; wall thickness: 0.237″; length: ~8-10″ (varies by manufacturer). |
| Weight | Approximately 1.5-2 lbs per fitting (lightweight for easy handling). |
Usage
This fitting is primarily used in pressurized plumbing and fluid management systems where directional flow control is needed without significant pressure loss. Common applications include:
- Potable Water Distribution: Connecting branch lines in municipal or residential water supply systems.
- Irrigation Systems: Diverting water to multiple zones in agricultural or landscape setups.
- Pool and Spa Plumbing: Routing filtered or treated water through circulation lines.
- Chilled Water Systems: In HVAC or industrial cooling setups for non-corrosive fluids.
- General Chemical/Wastewater Handling: For low-aggression liquids in industrial or commercial environments.
It is ideal for scenarios requiring a gradual 45° branch (smoother than a 90° tee) to reduce turbulence and maintain flow velocity. Not suitable for high-heat, gas, or compressed air applications.
