Drain component for 6-inch pipe installations
The Fernco TSW-6 is a flexible tap saddle wye designed to join branch lines to a 6-inch main pipe. Its elastomeric PVC body conforms to irregular surfaces without rigid couplings. Plumbers and maintenance crews use it for sewer repairs and new drain layouts where alignment is difficult.
Chemical and thermal resistance up to 140 degrees F
The fitting withstands normal sewer gases, fungus growth and ultraviolet exposure without degradation. A 300 stainless-steel band secures the connection at a maximum pressure of 4.3 psi. The material remains stable at temperatures up to 140 degrees F during normal flow conditions.
Meets ASTM D5926 for code compliance
This standard verifies the fitting’s dimensions and material performance for drain applications. The overall length is 15 9/64 inches with an inside diameter of 6-5/8 inches. Inspectors accept the certification as proof of suitability for permitted plumbing work.

Questions about this item
How do you install the TSW-6 saddle wye on a 6 inch pipe and what step is often missed?
Clean the pipe surface, position the elastomeric PVC body over the opening, then tighten the 300 stainless steel bands evenly to seal; the step often missed is checking band torque after the initial pressure test.
What maintenance will the TSW-6 need over time?
Inspect the 300 stainless steel bands and elastomeric PVC body annually for cracks, chemical attack or UV degradation; replace the fitting if the material softens or the bands lose tension.
What limit appears first when the TSW-6 runs continuously at its 4.3 psi rating?
The 140 degree Fahrenheit temperature ceiling is reached before the pressure limit, so sustained hot flow above that temperature will degrade the elastomeric PVC first.
