The key features of a
fitting, which is a uPVC component used for soil, waste, and rainwater drainage systems, are:
Function: Provides a 45-degree angled branch connection to the main pipeline, which ensures a smooth flow of waste and minimizes the risk of blockages compared to a 90-degree connection.
Material: Made from high-grade unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC), which is durable, strong, and resistant to impact.
Size: Nominal diameter of 110mm (approximately 4 inches), suitable for standard drainage applications in residential and commercial buildings.
Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: As a non-metallic fitting, it does not rust or corrode and is non-reactive to acids, alkalis, effluents, and salts found in wastewater, ensuring a long operational life.
Leak-Proof Joints: Available in two main jointing options:
Ring fit (Push-fit): Uses an integrated rubber sealing ring to create a flexible, watertight seal that accommodates thermal expansion and contraction.
Solvent fit (Selfit/Pasted): Requires a solvent cement to create a permanent and strong, leak-tight joint.
Smooth Inner Surface: The mirror-smooth interior surface minimizes friction, which facilitates a free flow of water and waste and helps prevent the buildup of scale or clogs.
Lightweight: The light weight of the fitting makes it easy to transport, handle, and install, reducing labor costs and time.
