Description
This plain x female threaded socket provides a practical connection between an ABS solvent weld system and male BSP threaded components such as valves, instruments or equipment in process lines. The plain end is designed for bonding to ABS pipe using solvent cement and cleaner, while the threaded outlet allows for a secure mechanical joint that can be disconnected when required. Manufactured from robust ABS, the fitting offers reliable impact resistance, low moisture absorption and consistent performance across a wide range of operating temperatures. Its dual connection design makes it a versatile choice where plastic pipework meets threaded metal or plastic components.
