PVC Pressure Female Adaptor

PVC Pressure Female Adaptor (Cat 3)

Description:
The PVC Pressure Female Adaptor (Cat 3) is designed to connect a PVC pressure fitting to a male-threaded connection. This adaptor features a solvent-weld end that fits into a PVC fitting (same size as pipe) and a female threaded end that allows for connection to threaded pipe, valves, or fittings.

Manufactured from PVC-U (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride), this adaptor ensures strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion and chemicals. It is suitable for both above-ground and underground installations in pressure-rated pipeline systems.

Key Features:

• Connects PVC pressure fittings to male-threaded components
• One solvent-weld socket end & one female-threaded end
• High-quality PVC-U construction for long service life
• White or off-white finish
• Simple installation using solvent cement jointing
• Corrosion, chemical, and UV resistant
• Wide size range available (12mm–100mm)

Applications:

• Potable water pipelines
• Pumped sewerage and effluent systems
• Irrigation and turf watering
• Slurry transport
• Pressure sewerage
• Recycled water networks
• Gas systems (requires special yellow pipe)
