PVC Pressure Straight Coupling

PVC Pressure Straight Coupling (Cat 7)

Description:
The PVC Pressure Straight Coupling (Cat 7) is designed for joining two pieces of PVC-U pressure pipe of equal sizes in a straight line. This makes it a simple yet essential fitting for extending pipelines or repairing damaged sections.

Made from rigid PVC-U (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride), the coupling provides excellent durability, chemical resistance, and strength under pressure. Pipes are solvent cement jointed into each end of the coupling, ensuring a secure and long-lasting connection.

Key Features:

• Connects two equal-sized PVC pressure pipes
• Secure solvent cement joint (SCJ) system
• Rigid, corrosion-resistant PVC-U construction
• Suitable for potable water and pressure applications
• White or off-white finish for professional installation
• Wide size range available: 12mm to 150mm (larger sizes available on request)

Applications:

• Potable water distribution
• Pumped sewerage and effluent pipelines
• Irrigation and turf watering systems
• Slurry and recycled water transport
• Pressure sewerage systems
• Gas (with special yellow pipe)
