Watts 710246 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe sizes does the Watts 710246 Blueline reducer connect?
The 710246 is a 3 inch to 1-1/2 inch reducer, so it takes a 3 inch drainage line down to a 1-1/2 inch branch or fixture arm. Both ends are no-hub, meaning they are plain-end spigots that join with no-hub couplings rather than being solvent welded or threaded.
2) What is the Watts Blueline FRPP reducer made of, and why would a lab or hospital spec it?
The body is FRPP, flame retardant polypropylene. That material is the usual choice for chemical waste and acid drainage lines in labs, hospitals and university science buildings, where standard DWV plastics would be attacked by the effluent. If your drawing calls for a metallic or standard PVC DWV reducer, this is a different system and should not be mixed in.
3) Do no-hub couplings come with the Watts 710246 reducer?
Plan on ordering couplings separately. The 710246 is the reducer fitting only; a no-hub joint needs a shielded coupling at each end, one sized 3 inch and one sized 1-1/2 inch, to make up the connection.
4) What part number do I give my supplier for the Watts 3 x 1-1/2 Blueline no-hub reducer?
Order it as Watts 710246. It is a single-configuration item in the Blueline FRPP no-hub reducer series, so there is no finish, handing or end-option to specify beyond the size.
5) What is the wall thickness on the Watts 710246 reducer?
0.22 inch wall. That figure matters when a submittal asks you to confirm the fitting matches the wall schedule of the FRPP pipe it is joining, and when you are picking a no-hub coupling that has to seat on the spigot without crushing it.
6) Where in a chemical waste system would a 3 x 1-1/2 reducer like this be used?
Typically where a 1-1/2 inch fixture arm off a lab sink, cup sink or fume hood drain ties into a 3 inch FRPP waste main or stack. The reducer makes that size transition inside the same FRPP system, with no-hub joints at both ends so it can be assembled in place and taken apart later for service.
