PVC Pressure Male Adaptor (Cat 2)
Description:
The PVC Pressure Male Valve Adaptor (Cat 2) is designed to connect a PVC-U pressure fitting to a female-threaded fitting. Unlike a coupling that fits directly over a pipe, this adaptor is specifically engineered to fit inside a PVC-U pressure fitting (same size as pipe) on one end, while the opposite end features a male BSP thread. This makes it ideal for adapting solvent-welded PVC-U systems to threaded fittings and valves.
Key Features:
- Solvent weld spigot × Male BSP threaded end
- Adapts pressure fittings directly into threaded fittings
- Durable, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant PVC-U construction
- Easy solvent cement jointing (SCJ system)
- High pressure rating up to PN18
- Suitable for both above-ground and underground use
- Available in a wide range of sizes, including reducing options
Applications:
- Potable water supply
- Pumped sewerage and effluent systems
- Irrigation and turf watering
- Slurry transport
- Pressure sewerage networks
- Recycled water distribution
- Gas installations (only with approved yellow PVC pipe)
