Westlake Pipe Fittings G6012-8 SDR-35 Pvc Reducer Coupling

Product Description

The WESTLAKE PIPE FITTINGS G6012-8 is a gasketed SDR-35 PVC reducer coupling designed to transition between 12-inch and 8-inch pipe diameters in gravity-flow drainage systems. The gasketed connection provides a flexible, watertight seal without solvent cementing, making field installation faster and allowing for slight angular deflection. Built to SDR-35 standards, this coupling is suited for sewer and storm drain applications where wall thickness and material stiffness meet standard specifications. Licensed plumbers and civil contractors are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This reducer coupling is used in residential, commercial, and municipal underground drainage installations. It is appropriate for main sewer line runs, storm drainage networks, and gravity-flow collection systems where a reduction from a 12-inch main to an 8-inch lateral or branch line is required. The SDR-35 PVC material is compatible with standard sewer service conditions including typical soil loads and waste flow environments.

Key Features

• Gasketed bell-and-spigot connection for fast, solvent-free field assembly
• SDR-35 PVC construction meets standard wall-thickness requirements for sewer and drain service
• Reduces from 12-inch to 8-inch pipe diameter in a single fitting
• Gasket seal accommodates minor pipe deflection and thermal movement
• Lightweight PVC construction relative to comparable concrete or clay fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for SDR-35 PVC sewer and storm drain pipe systems using gasketed 12-inch and 8-inch diameter pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or civil contractors working to IPC or local sewer authority specifications. Ensure the pipe spigot end and gasket are clean and lubricated with an approved pipe lubricant before joining. Trench bedding and backfill must be prepared to code to prevent point loading on the fitting. Do not use solvent cement on gasketed SDR-35 fittings.
