Description

The Charlotte Pipe Foundry Co. PVC 00102 1400HA is a Schedule 40 PVC reducer coupling designed for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping systems. It transitions from a 4-inch pipe to a 3-inch pipe using a hub-by-hub connection on both ends. This fitting is manufactured from rigid PVC, making it resistant to corrosion and chemical degradation common in wastewater environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling during rough-in work on residential and light commercial DWV systems where pipe diameter reductions are required at branch or stack connections.

This reducer coupling is suited for horizontal drain lines, vertical stacks, and branch connections in residential and light commercial plumbing applications. It is used wherever a transition from 4-inch to 3-inch DWV pipe is needed, such as connecting a main sewer stack to a smaller branch line. The hub-by-hub configuration accepts standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe on both ends, solvent-welded in place per standard installation practice. This fitting ships in a package quantity of 20 units, making it practical for multi-fixture rough-in jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Before cutting or joining pipe, shut off the water supply and verify the line is depressurized and drained. Clean and dry both pipe ends before applying primer and solvent cement; follow the cement manufacturer’s dwell and cure times before pressurizing or flowing the line. Do not use this fitting on pressure supply lines or above the rated temperature range for Schedule 40 PVC.
