    Brass double y
    Is a large brass double y fitting worth anything?

    What is the size of it ? Also, is it DWV "brass" with hubs for sweat connections or real brass... Does it look like this ? If not, can you post a photo of it ?

    Back to you

    That one appears to be 4"x 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" heavy brass DBL "Y" leading to a Closet Bend. It will be expensive to purchase and quite a job to install.

    If you need to replace that brass "Y" than you don't have to go with brass. You can go with Cast iron or ABS ("plastic") that will not only be much the less expensive, but also will be lot (a lot) easier to install. That is especially true about ABS. No need to pack or lead seal the point of connections. Use Flex Seal couplings or Mission Couplings to connect new and old. They make them for this purpose and sell them in just about every size you can imagine.

    Hope that helps

    It's worth about a buck 20-30 per pound at a salvage yard.
