Harco 8065405 Ductile Iron Ips Swivel Tee 6 Inches

Product Description

The HARCO 8065405 is a 6-inch ductile iron IPS swivel joint lateral connection swivel tee designed for pressurized water distribution and service line applications. This fitting features a female swivel configuration that allows rotational adjustment during installation, reducing stress on adjacent piping. Constructed from ductile iron, it delivers high tensile strength and impact resistance suited to demanding underground and above-ground service conditions. Licensed plumbers and utility contractors are the primary installers of this type of fitting on municipal and commercial water systems.

This swivel tee is used where a lateral branch connection must be made to an existing IPS main line. The swivel joint design accommodates angular deflection and pipeline movement, making it a common choice in water main tapping and service lateral installations. It is appropriate for residential service connections, commercial water distribution, and municipal infrastructure projects where a reliable, adjustable branch fitting is required.

Key Features

• 6-inch nominal size for compatibility with standard IPS water mains
• Ductile iron construction provides high strength and corrosion resistance relative to gray iron
• Female swivel configuration allows rotational alignment during makeup
• Swivel joint lateral design reduces installation stress on connected piping
• IPS thread pattern for compatibility with standard iron pipe size fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for use with 6-inch IPS ductile iron water distribution piping and service lateral assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified utility contractor in accordance with local water authority requirements and applicable plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the main line before making any connections. Use appropriate thread sealant or gasket material rated for potable water service. Do not over-torque the swivel joint, as this may restrict rotation and damage sealing surfaces.
