Value Collection 429-030 Pvc Pipe Coupling 3 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 429-030 is a Schedule 40 PVC slip-by-slip pipe coupling designed for joining 3-inch PVC pipe in drain, waste, vent, and low-pressure water distribution systems. Made from rigid PVC, this coupling accepts plain-end pipe on both sides and is solvent-welded in place to form a pressure-rated, watertight joint. At 1.36 pounds, it is lightweight enough for single-hand placement during overhead or confined-space work. Plumbers and pipefitters reach for Schedule 40 PVC couplings as a standard repair and installation fitting wherever PVC piping is the specified material.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications including drain-waste-vent runs, irrigation mains, and cold-water supply lines. The slip-by-slip end configuration requires solvent cement on both socket ends, making it a straightforward inline repair or extension fitting. It is not rated for hot-water or high-pressure service beyond Schedule 40 PVC limits. Install in horizontal, vertical, or angled runs where the pipe ends are clean, deburred, and dry before cementing.

Key Features

• 3-inch fitting size matches standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe OD
• Slip x Slip end connections accept solvent-cement installation on both ends
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rating for drain, waste, vent, and cold-water supply use
• Rigid PVC construction resists corrosion, scale buildup, and common household chemicals
• Lightweight at 1.36 pounds for easy single-hand positioning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard installation fitting for 3-inch Schedule 40 PVC piping systems in residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and drain the supply line before cutting into an existing run. Clean and deburr both pipe ends, apply PVC primer, then solvent cement per the cement manufacturer's instructions before seating the pipe fully into each socket. Allow the joint to cure fully before restoring flow or pressure-testing the line.
