Lasco 482-030 3" Schedule 40 PVC Deep Socket Coupling
Lasco 482-030 deep socket coupling connects two 3" Schedule 40 PVC pipes with a slip x slip (socket x socket) connection. The deep-socket profile gives extra insertion depth for a stronger solvent-weld joint and better alignment, making it a reliable choice for plumbing, irrigation and pool systems where a durable, leak-resistant coupling is required.
