Male Coupling

PVC Pressure Male Coupling (Cat 17)

Description:
The PVC Pressure Male Coupling (Cat 17) is designed to connect PVC pressure pipe to a female-threaded fitting. One end of the coupling is a solvent weld socket that joins to PVC-U pipe, while the other end is a male BSP thread, ensuring a secure transition between solvent-welded pipelines and threaded components.

Constructed from PVC-U (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride), these couplings provide durability, chemical resistance, and long service life in a wide range of pressure applications.

Key Features:

• Solvent weld socket × Male BSP threaded end
• Simple and reliable transition between pipe and threaded fittings
• High strength and corrosion resistance
• Manufactured from rigid PVC-U
• White or off-white finish
• Easy installation with solvent cement (SCJ)
• Available in multiple sizes to suit project needs

Applications:

• Potable water supply
• Pumped sewerage and effluent systems
• Irrigation and turf watering
• Slurry transport
• Pressure sewerage networks
• Recycled water systems
• Gas (when used with approved yellow PVC pipe)
