PVC-U socket/socket fitting 1" 429-010

PVC-U Socket KW/KW – a reliable element of the installation

The KW/KW socket made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) is a key element in installation systems for cold water, air conditioning, and in industry, where resistance to various chemical compounds is required. It is used to connect pipes of the same diameter, ensuring a tight and durable connection. Made of PVC-U, it is characterized by high resistance to corrosion and scale formation, which translates into a long service life of the installation.

Construction and application

The socket with a diameter of 1 inch (33.4 mm) is designed for gluing with PVC-U pipes. The dimensional system is based on the standard for steel pipes IPS, which facilitates the modernization of existing installations. Adhesive bonding provides quick and safe installation – the drying time does not exceed one minute, especially at the appropriate ambient temperature. Additionally, the availability of threaded and flanged elements allows integration with other installation systems. The application of the socket is limited to pressure installations for drinking water.

Why choose a PVC-U socket?

• Strength and durability: PVC-U material guarantees a minimum service life of the installation of 50 years.
• Chemical resistance: The socket is resistant to the action of several hundred chemical compounds, making it ideal for industrial applications.
• Hygiene and safety: The material is physiologically and microbiologically inert, ensuring safety for health.
• Easy installation: Adhesive bonding is quick, simple and does not require specialized tools or electricity.
• Insulating properties: High thermal insulation reduces condensation of water vapor on cold water pipelines.
• Fire resistance: PVC-U does not support the combustion process, increasing fire safety.
• Low weight: Compared to traditional materials (metal), the PVC-U socket is much lighter, making it easier to transport and install.
• Smooth flow: The fitting design minimizes flow resistance, allowing for optimization of pipe diameters.
• Electrical insulation: Prevents galvanic and electrochemical corrosion in the case of installation in the ground.

The NIBCO 429-010 socket is a proven choice for both professional installers and end customers looking for a reliable and durable solution in water and sewage installations, as well as air conditioning systems.
