U-PVC Fittings

Solvent Weld U-PVC Fittings

Solvent cement U-PVC fittings are socketed parts in which the rigid PVC pipe end is solvent welded into the fitting socket to form a permanent, leak-tight joint.

They are used on pool, treatment, irrigation main and chemical process lines. Ten fitting types from elbows to unions are in this group; size and pressure class depend on the model.

Which material? In a solvent joint the pipe end is chamfered, surfaces are cleaned and, after cement is applied, the pipe is pushed into the socket in one movement; the line must not be pressurised before the curing time recommended by the manufacturer.
