PVC-C socket/socket fitting 1 1/4" 4701-012

Durable and reliable connections in PVC-C installations

The KW/KW PVC-C connector 1 1/4" is a key element of installation systems made of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (PVC-C). The NIBCO brand product, with catalog number 4701-012, provides a tight and durable connection of pipes with the same diameter, guaranteeing trouble-free operation of the installation for many years. The connector is designed for gluing, which significantly speeds up and simplifies installation compared to traditional connection methods.

Strength and corrosion resistance – advantages of PVC-C material

Made of high-quality PVC-C, the connector is characterized by exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemical action, and the deposition of scale and impurities. This material is also physiologically and microbiologically inert, making it an ideal solution for drinking water installations. Additionally, PVC-C exhibits excellent fire-resistant properties – it does not support the combustion process, increasing safety. It is worth remembering that PVC-C systems are designed for long-term use – the estimated durability exceeds 50 years.

Application and compatibility

The KW/KW PVC-C connector 1 1/4" finds wide application in:

• Hot and cold water installations
• Air conditioning installations
• Industrial installations for various types of chemical compounds
• Sanitary systems requiring resistance to aggressive media.

The connector is compatible with FlowGuard Gold and Greenline PVC-C pipes – both types of pipes can be connected using the same connector and glue. It is important to use dedicated glues for PVC-C systems to ensure tightness and durability of the connection. The outer diameter of the connector is 34.9 mm.

Benefits for the installer and end-user

• Quick installation: Gluing allows for rapid making of connections without the need for specialized tools or electricity.
• Durability: PVC-C material provides resistance to corrosion and chemicals, guaranteeing long-term operation of the installation.
• Low weight: Facilitates transport and installation of system elements.
• Tightness: Precise workmanship ensures a tight connection without the risk of leaks.
• Damping properties: Reduction of noise of flowing liquid due to the vibration damping properties of the material.
• Thermal insulation: Limitation of heat loss in heating installations and minimization of condensation on cold water pipelines.
