PVC-U Reduction Sleeve – Reliable Connection in Installations

The KZ/KW PVC-U reduction sleeve is a component connecting pipes of different diameters, ensuring the tightness and durability of the installation. Designed to connect pipes with diameters of 1 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch, it is a key component in water supply, air conditioning and industrial systems. Made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it is characterized by high resistance to corrosion and the action of many chemical compounds.

Construction and practical application

This fitting allows a smooth transition between different pipe diameters, which is particularly useful during installation modernization or adaptation to existing connections. Installation is done by gluing with a special PVC glue, which ensures a durable and tight connection. Therefore, the reduction sleeve finds wide application in:

• cold water installations,
• air conditioning systems,
• industrial installations transporting various chemical media.

It is worth mentioning that the dimensions of the sleeve are compatible with the inch system of steel pipes (IPS), which facilitates its integration with existing installations. The outer diameter of the sleeve is 42.1 mm.

Durability and benefits of use

By choosing a NIBCO PVC-U reduction sleeve, you are investing in a solution characterized by exceptional durability – estimated at a minimum of 50 years. This material is resistant to scale and dirt build-up, which translates into long-term installation efficiency and minimizes the need for maintenance. Additional advantages include:

• corrosion resistance – no risk of damage caused by external factors;
• chemical resistance – possibility of use in installations transporting various substances;
• physiological and microbiological neutrality – safety for health;
• easy installation – no need for specialized tools;
• vibration and noise damping properties – quieter operation of the installation;
• low weight – facilitating transport and installation;
• smooth inner surface – reducing flow resistance;
• high thermal insulation – limiting water vapor condensation.
