The advantage of PVC fittings is easy handling, simple installation, and chemical resistance.
This PVC-U pressure fitting is suitable for piping in filtration systems for swimming ponds, pools, ornamental ponds, fish tanks, and similar applications. The coupling with female thread is designed for transitioning from a threaded connection to a standard PVC pipe or flexible hose. It is most commonly used to connect equipment with an external thread. Never glue the threaded connection. Use PTFE tape or sealing thread to seal the joint.
Before gluing, all joints must be thoroughly cleaned. Use Tangit or Griffon. Apply a thin layer of Tangit or Griffon adhesive to both the fitting and the pipe, then press the parts together. Allow at least 5 minutes to dry. Pool adhesives cure in 10–12 hours.
