Description
The ABS Metric Plain Socket is designed to provide a strong, permanent connection between two lengths of ABS metric pipe of the same diameter. Manufactured from high-quality acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), this fitting offers excellent impact resistance, low moisture absorption and dependable performance in pressurised pipework systems.
Available in metric sizes from 16mm to 315mm, these sockets are solvent welded to the pipe using ABS solvent cement and cleaner, creating a secure, leak-free joint. When used alongside ABS metric pipe, fittings and valves from Pipestock, they form a fully matched and system-compatible installation suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
Lightweight yet rigid, ABS sockets are easy to handle and install on site while still delivering long-term durability. Their non-toxic material formulation makes them suitable for potable water and food-related applications where WRAS approval is required.
