Description
This PVCu socket provides a simple and reliable way to join two imperial PVCu pipe lengths using a solvent weld connection. Designed for secure system extensions and straight pipe coupling, it offers a long service life thanks to the material’s inherent resistance to corrosion, impact and chemical exposure.
Its smooth internal bore and accurately machined dimensions ensure a consistent fit with matching imperial PVCu pipe. When installed with the correct solvent cement and cleaner, the joint forms a strong, permanent bond suitable for water supply, industrial processes and general engineering applications.
