Product description
PVC Blue Fittings are a type of plumbing fitting made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic, typically used in various piping systems. The blue color often signifies that the fittings are designed for specific applications, such as potable water or other water-related uses. Here’s a detailed overview of PVC blue fittings:
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): Made from PVC plastic, which is durable, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion and chemicals. PVC is a popular choice for plumbing due to its strength and affordability.
Color: The blue color can indicate various things depending on the context, such as a specific type of PVC or use case, often associated with potable water systems.
Elbows: Used to change the direction of the piping, commonly available in 45-degree and 90-degree angles.
Tees: Allow branching off in different directions, with a main line and two side outlets.
Couplings: Connect two pieces of PVC pipe together in a straight line.
Reducers: Reduce the diameter of the pipe to connect pipes of different sizes.
Caps and Plugs: Seal the end of a pipe or fitting to close off the system.
Adapters: Transition between different types of pipes or fittings, such as PVC to metal.
Socket: One end of the fitting is designed to fit over the outside diameter of the pipe, with a glued or threaded connection.
Threaded: Some fittings come with threaded ends to screw into other threaded components, providing a secure connection.
Solvent Cement: The most common method for joining PVC fittings and pipes, where a solvent is used to chemically bond the plastic.
Threaded Connections: For fittings that require a screw-on connection, typically used with threaded pipes or adapters.
