Westlake Pipe Fittings g3012-6 Pvc Sewer Wye 12x6 Sdr 35

Product Description

The WESTLAKE PIPE FITTINGS g3012-6 is a 12-inch by 6-inch SDR 35 PVC gasketed sewer wye designed for gravity-flow sewer and drainage systems. This fitting accepts a 6-inch branch line off a 12-inch main line at a standard wye angle, allowing flow to enter smoothly without sharp-direction changes. All connections are gasketed, eliminating solvent cement at the joint and allowing for faster field assembly. At 18 pounds, this is a substantial fitting suited for main-line sewer work. Licensed plumbers and underground utility contractors are the typical installers for fittings of this type.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial underground sewer and storm drain installations where SDR 35 PVC pipe is specified. It is well-suited for new construction lateral tie-ins, where a 6-inch service line must connect to a 12-inch sewer main. Typical applications include municipal sewer laterals, site utility work, and large-diameter building drain systems operating under gravity flow conditions. All gasketed construction means the joint relies on a rubber gasket compression seal rather than solvent weld, which is standard practice for underground sewer applications in most jurisdictions.

Key Features

• 12-inch main by 6-inch branch configuration for lateral tie-in applications
• SDR 35 wall thickness rating suitable for gravity sewer service
• All-gasketed connections for fast field assembly without solvent cement
• PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical attack common in sewer environments
• 18-pound fitting weight reflects full-body construction for main-line use

Compatibility

Designed for use with 12-inch and 6-inch SDR 35 PVC sewer pipe and fittings in gasketed gravity-flow sewer and drainage systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified underground utility contractor in accordance with local plumbing codes and ASTM D3034 pipe standards where applicable. Excavate and bed the trench per local specifications before positioning the fitting. Lubricate gaskets with approved pipe lubricant only — do not use petroleum-based products that can degrade the rubber. Ensure the pipe is fully seated past the gasket to achieve a proper compression seal before backfilling.
