A plain PVC socket (sometimes referred to as a PVC coupling or PVC connector) is essential for securely joining two lengths of PVC pipe of identical diameter in water supply, irrigation, and industrial applications. Designed for straightforward solvent welding, this socket ensures a strong, leak-resistant connection that withstands demanding operating environments. By using PVC solvent cement and cleaner, users can achieve a robust bond, making this fitting ideal for high-performance fluid systems requiring durable and reliable connections.
