PVC DWV Pipe & Fittings

PVC DWV pipe and fittings move drain, waste, and vent air and water reliably in residential and light commercial plumbing. This category includes Schedule 40 PVC drain pipe plus elbows, tees, wyes, sanitary tees, street fittings, cleanouts, traps, reducers, couplings, caps, and adaptors in common sizes from 1-1/2 in. to 6 in. PVC DWV is lightweight, corrosion resistant, and easy to cut, making it a go-to for new installs, repairs, and remodels.

Benefits you’ll notice:
- Smooth interior walls for better flow and fewer clogs
- Quiet operation compared to metal
- Long service life and low maintenance
- Glue-and-go assembly with primer and solvent cement

Key specs to check: hub or spigot ends, ASTM D2665 compliance, UPC/IPC code approval, and correct fitting pattern for horizontal or vertical use. Pick long-sweep elbows and wyes to maintain flow, and use sanitary tees only in the proper orientation.

Installation tips:
- Plan your layout with the required 1/4 in. per foot slope on horizontal drains.
- Dry-fit everything; mark alignment before gluing.
- Deburr and bevel pipe ends, prime both surfaces, then apply cement and give a quarter-turn.
- Support pipe per code with hangers and straps; avoid stress at joints.
- Place cleanouts at required intervals and at the base of stacks for service access.
- Use test caps and perform water or air tests before closing walls.

Common applications include fixture drains, branch lines, vent stacks, and building drains connecting to the sewer. Accessories like no-hub adaptors, trap assemblies, and repair couplings help tie into existing lines or transition materials. Whether you’re a DIYer or a pro plumber, choosing the right PVC DWV pipe and fittings improves flow, reduces callbacks, and speeds installation.
