Description
The ABS Metric Composite Union Plain F x Thread F Stainless Steel fitting provides a reliable and serviceable transition between metric ABS pipework and BSP male threaded components, combining lightweight ABS with the superior corrosion resistance of 316L stainless steel.
Designed with a solvent-weld ABS socket on one end and a female BSP stainless steel thread on the other, this composite union allows pipe systems to be easily assembled, dismantled and maintained without cutting the pipework. The union face is sealed using a durable EPDM rubber seal, ensuring a secure, leak-tight connection even in demanding environments.
The plain ABS socket is solvent welded into metric ABS pipe using ABS solvent cement and cleaner, while the female BSP thread connects directly to a male threaded component. For best results, PTFE tape should be used on all threaded joints.
All stainless steel components are manufactured from 316L grade stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to corrosion, making this fitting ideal for potable water, chemical handling and hygienic applications.
