PVC-U Solvent Cement to Male Thread R Adaptor PN16

  Data Sheet |   Product Range | Instructional Video

The PVC-U threaded adaptor R PN16 provides a dependable transition between metric solvent cement piping systems and threaded industrial equipment or metallic pipework. Engineered for high-integrity chemical and utility applications, this robust transition fitting combines a solvent cement socket for permanent bonding with an external taper thread (R) conforming to ISO 7-1 and EN 10226-1 standards. It enables rigid, leak-tight connections across demanding operational environments without compromising structural continuity or hydraulic performance.

Manufactured from premium unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U), the adaptor exhibits exceptional resistance to chemical attack by aggressive acids, alkalis, and saline solutions. With a nominal operating pressure rating of PN16 (16 bar at 20 degrees Celsius), the component withstands rigorous operating conditions while maintaining mechanical strength and dimensional precision. The smooth internal bore ensures minimal friction loss, preventing scale build-up and preserving consistent flow rates throughout long operational life cycles.

Designed for versatile deployment, this transition adaptor is widely utilised in industrial water treatment, chemical distribution, commercial aquatics, pool installations, and precision irrigation networks. When connecting the male taper thread R to corresponding female fittings, installation must be executed using suitable PTFE sealing tape. Thread sealing compounds that contain solvents or plasticisers harmful to PVC-U must be strictly avoided to ensure lasting chemical and mechanical integrity.

As an authorised Georg Fischer distributor, BigWeld supplies certified thermoplastic piping components engineered to stringent European standards. These PVC-U transition fittings offer installers and project engineers a durable, corrosion-free jointing solution backed by uncompromising material consistency and long-term reliability.
