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.
Main Applications
- Pool circulation lines
- Water treatment plants
- Irrigation mains and distribution lines
- Chemical process lines
- Industrial cold water lines
Technical Data
| Fitting types | Elbow, tee, reducing tee, cross, socket, reducing socket, reducer, end cap, stub flange, union |
|---|---|
| Material | U-PVC (depending on model) |
| Connection | Solvent cement (socketed) |
| Sizes | Depending on model, please ask |
| Pressure class | Depending on model |
| Temperature | Cold water, limit depending on model |
| Cement | Solvent cement suited to U-PVC |
| Threaded type | With threaded U-PVC fittings |
Material Options
| Part | U-PVC (pressure) | PVC drainage | PPR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Body | Unplasticised rigid PVC | PVC | PP-R |
| Connection | Solvent cement or thread | Gasketed socket or solvent cement | Socket fusion welding |
| Pressure | Pressure lines (PN depending on model) | Non-pressure (gravity) lines | Pressure lines |
| Hot water | Not suitable | Not suitable (depending on model) | Suitable |
| Use | Cold clean water, pools, chemicals | Soil and rainwater | Hot and cold domestic water |
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.
