Description
The ABS Socket Plain Inch x Metric fitting is designed to provide a straightforward transition between imperial and metric ABS pipework systems. It allows installers to connect existing imperial pipe runs to metric ABS pipe without the need for threaded adapters or mechanical couplings, maintaining a consistent solvent-welded joint throughout the system.
Manufactured from high-quality ABS, this socket features a plain imperial socket on one end and a plain metric socket on the other. When installed using ABS solvent cement and cleaner, it creates a strong, permanent and pressure-rated joint suitable for demanding industrial and commercial applications.
This fitting is particularly useful in system upgrades, extensions or repairs where legacy imperial pipework must be integrated with modern metric ABS installations.
