PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) threaded fittings are components used to connect compatible plastic pipesin order to convey fluids or chemicals.
What are PVC and ABS threaded fittings used for?
PVC and ABS threaded fittings are often used in, for example, the water treatment, ship building and chemical processing industries. Depending on the type, they can connect straight pipe or tubing sections, adapt to different sizes or shapes and regulate or measure fluid flow. As these PVC and ABS fittings are threaded, they can be coated in thread sealing paste and screwed into the pipe system. They tend to be very robust and resistant to impact, corrosion and chemicals.
Types of PVC and ABS threaded fittings
PVC and ABS threaded fittings come in various styles depending on your needs, for example couplings, reducers, elbows, nipples and adaptors. They may be threaded on both sides or only on one side and the threads can be the same or different genders.
Description:
Malleable hexagon nipple fittings are highly durable and
temperature resistant making them ideal for use in air conditioning, plant engineering, gas lines and lubricant pipework. Black Malleable IronNot suitable for drinking water installations.
Description:
The S030 fitting has a built-in paddlewheel to
measure the flow rate. When liquid flows through the pipe, the paddle-wheel is set in rotation producing pulses which are proportional to the flow rate. Closed pipe system (sensor inside fitting)Sensor unit ...
Description:
In-line flow adaptors incorporating paddle wheel transducer which
is set in rotation when liquid flows through the pipe. Bayonet sensor connection enables sensor to be removed without disturbing the pipe workInterfaced to pipework via solvent cement couplingMeasuring range; from 0.3m/s ...
