Description

This PVCu metric to imperial adaptor is designed to connect metric PVC pipework to imperial-sized pipework, providing a practical transition point within solvent weld installations. It is commonly used where newer metric systems need to interface with existing imperial pipework without compromising performance or compliance.

Manufactured from rigid PVCu, the socket provides excellent resistance to corrosion, scaling and a wide range of chemicals. When installed correctly using the appropriate solvent cement and cleaner, it forms a strong, permanent joint with the pipe, resulting in a neat and professional finish across the system.
