3-1/2" 2PC Expansion Couplings 1079 (Pack of 9)

Description:

• Material: Made from PVC, a durable and corrosion-resistant thermoplastic material commonly used in plumbing systems due to its reliability and affordability.

• Size: Designed specifically for 3-1/2-inch diameter PVC pipes, which are typically used in larger residential, commercial, or industrial plumbing applications where increased flow capacity or strength is required.

• Expansion Capability: Like other expansion couplings, this product is engineered to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction within the piping system. This feature helps prevent damage caused by temperature fluctuations that can cause pipes to expand or contract.

• Two-Piece Design: Consists of two separate pieces that can be joined together around the pipe. This design allows for easy installation and adjustment, facilitating retrofitting onto existing pipe systems without extensive modifications.

• Corrosion Resistance: PVC material offers excellent resistance to corrosion, rust, and degradation from chemicals, making it suitable for various environmental conditions, including underground and outdoor applications.

• Installation: Typically installed by sliding the two pieces of the coupling over the pipe ends and securing them in place using solvent cement or PVC adhesive. This creates a secure and watertight seal, ensuring the coupling effectively accommodates pipe movement.

Features:

• Meets NEMA TC 3 Requirements
• Seal is watertight

Application:

• For use with Schedule 40 & Schedule 80 PVC conduit
• Compensates for temperature-related length changes in exposed applications
