Westlake Pipe Fittings g108-6 Pvc Gasketed Sewer Tee 8x6

Product Description

The WESTLAKE PIPE FITTINGS g108-6 is an 8-inch by 6-inch SDR 35 PVC all-gasketed sewer straight tee designed for gravity-flow sewer and storm drainage systems. Constructed from PVC and featuring gasketed bell connections on all three openings, this fitting creates a watertight junction between mainline and branch piping without solvent cement. The SDR 35 wall dimension ratio makes it suitable for standard municipal and residential sewer service conditions. Licensed plumbers and underground utility contractors install this fitting in below-grade applications where a branch connection to a larger mainline run is required. At 8.5 pounds, it is manageable for single-person handling during trench installation.

This tee is used in residential and commercial underground sewer systems where an 8-inch main run requires a 6-inch branch takeoff. Typical applications include lateral connection to municipal sewer mains, site utility drainage piping, and gravity sewer collection systems. The gasketed connection style allows for pipe expansion and contraction, making it well suited for direct-bury installations in varied soil conditions. It is a common fitting in new construction plumbing rough-in and sewer main replacement projects.

Key Features

• SDR 35 PVC construction rated for standard gravity sewer and drainage service
• All-gasketed connections on every opening for watertight, cement-free assembly
• 8-inch mainline by 6-inch branch configuration for reduced lateral connections
• Gasketed design accommodates thermal movement in direct-bury installations
• Lightweight PVC material at 8.5 pounds supports efficient trench handling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-production fitting for SDR 35 PVC gasketed sewer piping systems using 8-inch mainline pipe with a 6-inch branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation of underground sewer fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified utility contractor in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Ensure the upstream flow is diverted or the system is taken out of service before making any connections. Gaskets should be inspected and lubricated per the manufacturer recommendation before joining pipe spigots into the fitting bells. Proper bedding and backfill compaction around the fitting is critical to prevent joint deflection and leakage in service.
