Watts NH-BL-3-45Y – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Watts NH-BL-3-45Y and what pipe size does it fit?
It's a 45 degree wye fitting from the Watts Blueline no-hub line, sized for 3 inch pipe. A wye at 45 degrees is the branch fitting used where a drain line takes off from a main run at a sweeping angle so flow stays moving instead of hitting a hard corner. Order it by the model number NH-BL-3-45Y.
2) Does the NH-BL-3-45Y use hub connections or no-hub couplings?
No hub. Both ends are plain spigot, so it joins with no-hub couplings (a gasketed sleeve with a stainless shield and clamps) rather than being caulked or cemented into a hub. You buy the couplings separately, one for each connection you make.
3) Is the Watts NH-BL-3-45Y wye Buy American Act compliant for a government job?
No. The NH-BL-3-45Y is listed as not Buy American Act compliant, so on a federally funded project with BAA language in the spec, this fitting won't qualify. Check the drain, waste and vent spec on the drawing before you commit it to a government or institutional job.
4) When should I use a 45 degree wye instead of a sanitary tee on a 3 inch drain line?
Use the 45 degree wye where the branch carries drainage and you need the flow to turn gradually, typically horizontal-to-horizontal connections and the base of a stack, usually paired with a 45 degree bend to bring the branch back to direction. A sanitary tee is the fitting for a vertical drop out of a horizontal run. The NH-BL-3-45Y covers the wye side of that decision in 3 inch no-hub.
