Inserta 6n1218n12 Pvc Insert Tee 6 X 18 Inch

Product Description

The INSERTA 6n1218n12 is a PVC Insert Tee fitting designed for 6-inch pipe with an 18-inch insertion length. Manufactured from PVC plastic, it is built to meet ASTM D-3212 and ASTM F-477 standards for joint tightness and elastomeric seals in plastic pipe systems. This fitting is used to create a branch connection in an existing pipeline without requiring full pipe replacement. Licensed plumbing contractors and drainage installation crews are the typical installers for this type of fitting in sewer and drainage infrastructure.

The 6n1218n12 Insert Tee is suited for mainline sewer and drainage applications where a new lateral connection must be added to an existing 6-inch pipe run. The 18-inch insertion depth provides adequate engagement with the host pipe to ensure a secure, watertight connection. This fitting is appropriate for both new construction and rehabilitation projects involving underground plastic pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified drainage contractor in accordance with local plumbing codes and ASTM guidelines. Excavate and expose the host pipe fully before attempting insertion, and confirm the pipe exterior is clean and free of debris prior to fitting engagement.
