Description
This composite union combines a female ABS solvent weld socket with a robust brass BSP male thread, creating a dependable and serviceable connection point within an ABS pipeline. The plain socket is designed for bonding with ABS pipe or fittings using solvent cement and cleaner, forming a strong permanent joint. The brass male thread provides excellent mechanical strength, making it well suited for linking ABS systems to metal valves, pumps or threaded equipment. Thanks to the union design, the joint can be uncoupled without disturbing the bonded pipework, offering convenient access for maintenance or replacement. With its combination of corrosion resistant ABS and precision machined brass, this fitting ensures long term reliability across industrial and commercial installations.
