Product Purpose
The Mueller Industries 05843 is a PVC double reducing wye designed to join four pipe sections in a drainage system. It connects two 3-inch hubs and two 1-1/2-inch hubs using solvent-weld sockets for gravity-flow applications.
Suitable Installations
This fitting suits plumbers assembling Schedule 40 DWV networks where a single junction must step down from 3-inch to 1-1/2-inch branches. Installers needing a straight coupling, a single wye, or a fitting rated for pressure service should select a different component.
Critical Specification
The fitting carries a maximum operating pressure rating for gravity flow only and an operating temperature range of -20 degrees to 140 degrees F. Systems that require pressure containment or exposure beyond this range cannot use this part.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the Mueller 05843 PVC double reducing wye?
The fitting itself is supplied; solvent cement and primer for the socket joints are not included and must be purchased separately.
How do I choose the right schedule for this 3 in by 1-1/2 in reducing wye?
This model is Schedule 40 throughout; select it when your drainage system uses Schedule 40 pipe and fittings.
What does the 140 °F maximum operating temperature mean for a gravity-flow installation?
The fitting is rated for continuous use up to 140 °F in non-pressurised gravity drainage, so hot-water discharge lines must stay below that limit.
