Westlake Pipe Fittings P8408 Pvc Female Adapter 8 in SDR-35

Product Description

The WESTLAKE PIPE FITTINGS P8408 is an 8-inch SDR-35 PVC female adapter designed for solvent weld connections in gravity-flow drainage and sewer piping systems. This fitting accepts a male-threaded or plain-end pipe on one side and bonds to SDR-35 PVC pipe on the other using solvent cement, creating a permanent, leak-resistant joint. Weighing 2.08 pounds, it is sized for large-diameter residential and commercial drain lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this class of fitting.

This adapter is suited for underground and above-grade gravity sewer, storm drain, and sanitary drain applications where SDR-35 PVC pipe is specified. The 8-inch diameter makes it appropriate for main sewer lines, large-diameter lateral connections, and commercial drainage tie-ins. It is commonly installed in new construction and sewer rehabilitation projects where a threaded or mechanical connection must transition into SDR-35 PVC pipe.

Key Features

• 8-inch diameter sized for main sewer and large-diameter drain lines
• SDR-35 wall rating suitable for gravity-flow sewer and storm drain service
• Solvent weld socket end creates a permanent, pressure-tight bond with compatible PVC pipe
• Female adapter configuration allows transition from male-threaded or plain-end connections
• PVC construction resists corrosion, root intrusion chemicals, and common drain effluents

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit adapter for 8-inch SDR-35 PVC gravity sewer and drain piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes. Solvent cement and primer appropriate for SDR-35 PVC must be used per manufacturer instructions; do not dry-fit and leave without cementing. Ensure pipe ends are clean, deburred, and dry before applying primer and cement. Allow full cure time before backfilling or pressure testing the line.
