3" PVC 2PC Expansion Couplings 1078 (Pack of 12)

Description:

• 3-inch PVC 2-piece expansion coupling is another variant of the expansion coupling designed for larger diameter PVC pipes. Here's a description of its features and functionality:

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

• Size: Specifically designed for 3-inch diameter PVC pipes, which are often used in larger residential and commercial plumbing systems or industrial applications.

• Expansion Capability: Similar to other sizes, this expansion coupling 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 facilitates easy installation and adjustment, allowing the coupling to be retrofitted onto existing pipe systems without requiring 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
