We study Bailey pairs construction for hyperbolic hypergeometric integral identities acquired via the duality of lens partitions functions for the three-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories on $$ {S}_b^3/{\mathbb{Z}}_r $$ S b 3 / ℤ r . The novel Bailey pairs are constructed for the star-triangle relation, the star-star relation, and the pentagon identity. The first two of them are integrability conditions for the Ising-type integrable lattice models. The last one corresponds to the representation of the basic 2 − 3 Pachner move for triangulated 3-manifolds.
