Metric PVC-C Socket PN16 Solvent Joint d16-225

  Datasheet (PDF)

The Georg Fischer metric PVC-C socket is a precision-engineered industrial pressure fitting designed for permanent, high-integrity jointing in demanding thermoplastic piping systems. Manufactured from high-grade post-chlorinated polyvinyl chloride in Agate Grey RAL 7038, this straight coupling provides superior mechanical strength and elevated temperature stability compared to conventional unplasticized PVC. Rated for nominal operating pressures up to PN16 at 20 degrees C, the metric socket reliably accommodates fluid service temperatures reaching up to 80 degrees C under pressure. It provides an indispensable connection point for pipe lengths across industrial process lines requiring robust performance under continuous chemical and thermal stress.

Engineered according to EN ISO 15493, ISO 727, and DIN 8079 / DIN 8080 dimensional standards, the fitting incorporates precision-tapered solvent cement sockets that ensure seamless capillary bonding with metric industrial pipes. The smooth internal hydraulic bore minimizes boundary-layer turbulence and reduces head loss, preventing particulate accumulation and maintaining optimal flow dynamics over decades of operation. When joined using specialized solvent cements such as Dytex or Tangit, the resulting homogenous joint exhibits chemical resistance comparable to the pipe material itself, reliably withstanding concentrated mineral acids such as sulfuric acid up to 96 percent, aggressive alkalis, oxidizing agents, and industrial salts without environmental stress cracking.

This metric PVC-C socket is widely deployed across the chemical process industry, industrial wastewater treatment facilities, electroplating lines, semiconductor manufacturing, and automotive paint finishing shops. The compound formulation is silicone-free and LABS-free according to VDMA testing criteria, ensuring absolute compatibility with paint-application environments and high-purity surface finishing processes. As an authorised Georg Fischer distributor, BigWeld provides complete technical piping solutions with fully traceable thermoplastic components tailored for critical industrial infrastructure where operational safety and long-term chemical containment are essential.
