3-Piece Female/Male Union Fitting in PVC

The 3-Piece Female/Male Union Fitting in PVC Codital (Reference: 5951) represents an advanced technical solution for demanding professionals and individuals. This mixed fitting combines the efficiency of PVC cementing with the practicality of threading, offering exceptional versatility for your plumbing, irrigation, and industrial system installations.

Versatility and multiple applications

This union fitting finds its place in numerous configurations: connection of buried PVC pipes, connection of removable equipment, junction between rigid and flexible networks. Its mixed design allows you to create strategic dismantling points in your installations, facilitating maintenance and future modifications.

Plumbing professionals appreciate its ability to adapt to installation constraints, while DIY enthusiasts find a reliable solution for their automatic irrigation, swimming pool, or rainwater collection projects. Its PN16 pressure resistance (16 bars) makes it a safe choice for demanding applications.

Technical innovation and quality materials

Made from high-density PN16 PVC, this Codital fitting benefits from exceptional chemical resistance and uncompromising durability. The integrated EPDM O-ring seal guarantees perfect sealing, even under pressure, while resisting thermal variations and chemical attacks.

The 3-piece removable design allows repeated assembly and disassembly without performance degradation. The female end complies with EN 1452 standard for cementing, ensuring a permanent and waterproof connection. The male end follows ISO 228-1 (gas) standard for threading, guaranteeing universal compatibility with standard equipment.

The available diameters from 20 to 63mm cover the majority of domestic and semi-industrial needs, allowing precise adaptation to existing pipe sections.

Simplified installation and easy maintenance

Installation of this union fitting is carried out in two distinct stages: first cementing the female end onto the previously chamfered and deburred PVC pipe, then manual threading of the male end after applying sealing paste or PTFE tape as needed.

Installation tip: ensure to respect a minimum drying time of 30 minutes for PVC cement before pressurizing. Union tightening should be done by hand plus 1/4 turn with a wrench to avoid over-tightening which could damage the EPDM seal.

For preventive maintenance, check the condition of the O-ring annually and replace if necessary. The removable design allows easy access to internal components without destroying the installation. In case of frost, Codital PVC resists down to -10°C, but it is recommended to drain exposed circuits.
