PEHD compensation socket 125 with double ring, black color (HDPE drainage) 368.700.16.1

Stress compensation and installation durability – Geberit HDPE 125 mm compensation socket

This compensation socket, made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), is a key element of the Geberit Pluvia drainage systems. It is used to connect 125 mm diameter pipes and effectively compensate for thermal stresses that arise from temperature changes. This prevents damage, cracks and loss of tightness of the installation, which translates into its longer life and reliability.

The socket is designed for both professional installers and end users. Its construction with a double ring provides a stable and secure connection, and the HDPE material guarantees resistance to corrosion, chemicals and UV radiation. This makes it an ideal solution for both internal and external installations – in the ground, in concrete or on the roof.

Material and construction for demanding applications

Made of PE-80 high-density polyethylene, this socket is distinguished by its exceptional durability and resistance to external factors. This material is resistant to approximately 95% of standard bases, acids and chemicals. The socket length is 261 mm, and the outer pipe diameter is 125 mm. The spigot is made of plastic for welding/fusion, ensuring a tight connection. The construction with a double ring further strengthens the connection and facilitates assembly.

The use of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in the production of this element guarantees not only mechanical strength, but also resistance to weather conditions – thanks to special additives protecting against UV radiation. This allows the pipes to be stored outdoors for a longer time without the risk of damage.

Application and benefits in practice

The HDPE 125 mm compensation socket finds wide application in:

• Drainage of water from buildings
• Roof drainage (both conventional and vacuum)
• Industrial installations
• Terrain drainage
• Laying in concrete

Thanks to its construction and material properties, this socket provides:

• Extended installation life: Stress compensation minimizes the risk of cracks and damage.
• Tight connections: Welding/fusion spigot and double ring ensure a reliable connection.
• Chemical resistance: HDPE material is resistant to most standard chemicals.
• Easy installation: Simple construction makes installation easier even for less experienced installers.
• Versatility: Can be used in both internal and external installations.
