PVC-U plain threaded union socket - male thread R PN16

  Data Sheet |   Product Range | Instructional Video

This Georg Fischer PVC-U plain threaded union provides a robust, demountable transition between metric solvent cement piping and taper male threaded equipment or valves. Designed for industrial fluid handling systems operating at a nominal pressure rating of PN16 (16 bar at 20 degrees C), this fitting combines a metric solvent weld socket with an ISO 7-1 / EN 10226-1 taper male pipe thread (R). It features an integrated high-grade EPDM O-ring seal, ensuring reliable, leak-tight sealing even under demanding operational cycles, vibration, and thermal fluctuations within standard thermoplastic operating limits.

Manufactured from high-grade unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U), the union exhibits exceptional resistance to chemical degradation from acids, alkalis, saline solutions, and industrial wastewater, while remaining completely impervious to electrochemical corrosion. The true union design allows installers and maintenance engineers to disconnect piping runs, pumps, flow meters, or process instruments without cutting pipe sections, simplifying routine maintenance, system modifications, and component servicing. Assembly requires solvent cementing with approved PVC-U cements on the metric socket end, alongside PTFE sealing tape on the R male threaded transition to ensure absolute joint integrity without over-stressing thermoplastic threads.

Engineered for versatile industrial and commercial service, this PN16 plain threaded transition union is widely deployed across industrial water treatment facilities, chemical distribution lines, commercial swimming pool installations, municipal potable water networks, and agricultural irrigation infrastructure. The smooth internal bore minimises hydraulic pressure drop and prevents incrustation or scaling over extended service lifecycles. BigWeld supplies the comprehensive Georg Fischer industrial PVC-U range across Europe as an authorised Georg Fischer distributor, supporting process engineers with certified piping components built for maximum system reliability.
