Application Uses for PVC Large-Diameter DWV Fittings

PVC large-diameter DWV fittings are important components of a plumbing system. These fittings are used to accommodate the flow of stormwater and waste, while ensuring efficient drainage and ventilation in the plumbing system.

“From single-family homes to high-rise buildings and commercial facilities, the versatility of these fittings makes them a preferred choice for various plumbing system requirements, such as main drain lines, sewer systems, stormwater drainage, and ventilation,” Nahrgang said.

• Main drain lines: PVC large-diameter fittings are often used for building the main drain lines of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. These fittings facilitate the smooth flow of wastewater from various fixtures to the main sewer or septic system.
• Sewer systems: In municipal and residential sewer systems, PVC large-diameter fittings are employed to connect sewer pipes and direct sewage to treatment facilities. The durability and corrosion resistance of PVC make it a preferred material for sewer applications.
• Stormwater drainage: PVC large-diameter fittings are used in stormwater drainage systems to efficiently manage rainwater runoff. These fittings help transport stormwater away from buildings and paved surfaces, preventing flooding and water damage.
• Ventilation systems: PVC large-diameter fittings are essential for creating vent lines in plumbing systems. Ventilation is crucial to prevent the buildup of sewer gas, maintain proper pressure in the drain lines, and promote optimal drainage performance.
