PEHD compensation socket 50 with double ring, black color (HDPE drainage) 361.700.16.1

Thermal expansion compensation and durable connections in the drainage system

The PEHD compensating socket 50 is an indispensable element of the Geberit HDPE drainage system, designed to connect pipes with a diameter of 50 mm. Its design allows for compensation of thermal expansion of the pipes, minimizing stress and ensuring long-term connection tightness. Made of durable polyethylene (PE-80), it is characterized by high resistance to mechanical damage and the action of aggressive chemicals.

This element is particularly important in installations exposed to temperature changes, such as drainage of water from buildings, roof drainage systems or industrial installations. The double ring provides a secure and stable connection, and the presence of an EPDM gasket guarantees complete water tightness.

Application and material properties

This socket finds application in a wide spectrum of installations – from draining wastewater from residential buildings, through roof drainage systems (both gravity and vacuum), to demanding industrial environments. High-density polyethylene (PE-HD) used in production exhibits exceptional corrosion resistance – it is resistant to approximately 95% of standard bases, acids and chemicals. Additionally, this material is stabilized against UV radiation, allowing for longer-term outdoor storage of elements without the risk of degradation.

The socket length is 240 mm, and the outer pipe diameter is 50 mm. The connection is made by butt welding or using electrofusion fittings – these methods ensure a durable and safe connection of the Geberit HDPE system elements. It is important to use appropriate machines and tools when making connections.

Installation and benefits for professionals and end users

Installation of the compensating socket requires precision and adherence to the manufacturer's recommendations regarding welding or the use of electrofusion fittings. This allows you to obtain a highly tight and reliable connection that will last for many years. Thermal expansion compensation reduces the risk of damage to the installation caused by stresses resulting from temperature changes.

For installers, this means fewer problems with potential failures in the future and higher quality of work. For end users – peace of mind resulting from the certainty that the installation is durable and safe. Additionally, the possibility of laying the Geberit HDPE system in concrete increases its versatility and range of applications.
