Male Adaptor

PVC Pressure Male Adaptor (Cat 2)

Description:
The PVC Pressure Male Valve Adaptor (Cat 2) is designed to connect a PVC-U pressure fitting to a female-threaded fitting. Unlike a coupling that fits directly over a pipe, this adaptor is specifically engineered to fit inside a PVC-U pressure fitting (same size as pipe) on one end, while the opposite end features a male BSP thread. This makes it ideal for adapting solvent-welded PVC-U systems to threaded fittings and valves.

Key Features:

• Solvent weld spigot × Male BSP threaded end
• Adapts pressure fittings directly into threaded fittings
• Durable, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant PVC-U construction
• Easy solvent cement jointing (SCJ system)
• High pressure rating up to PN18
• Suitable for both above-ground and underground use
• Available in a wide range of sizes, including reducing options

Applications:

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