Socket x Female BSP Adaptor

Description

Socket  x female BSP adaptors are designed to connect male BSP fittings or pipe to PVC pipe in a straight line with the use of solvent weld cement.  No special tools are required.

Approvals

Solvent weld PVC fittings are generally manufactured in accordance with EN1452-3. 

Threaded PVC fittings are generally manufactured in accordance with BS21, DIN2999, ISO7.

All fittings have WRAS approval and are suitable for use with potable drinking water applications.

Pressure Rating

PVC solvent weld fittings (sizes 20mm to 110mm) have a pressure rating of 15 bar (215 psi) at 20^oC.

PVC threaded fittings (1/2" to 4") have a pressure rating of 12 bar (170 psi) at 20^oC

As temperature increases the pressure rating is reduced.  PVC systems should not be used where temperatures exceed 60^oC.

Sizing

Metric PVC pipe is sized by its outside diameter. For example 32mm and 63mm outside diameter pipes will be sized as 32mm and 63mm respectively.

The inside diameter of the socket end of the fitting will be the same as the outside diameter of the pipe.
