PVC 1 2" -2" Male Thread Straight Connector Water Pipe Fittings Joint Adapter

Match the nominal pipe size (NPS) printed on your existing pipe or fitting — for example, a 3/4" pipe needs a 3/4" connector. If you are unsure, measure the outer diameter of the pipe: 1/2" NPS pipe has an OD of approximately 21mm (0.84"), 3/4" ≈ 27mm (1.05"), 1" ≈ 33mm (1.32"), 1-1/4" ≈ 42mm (1.66"), 1-1/2" ≈ 48mm (1.90"), and 2" ≈ 60mm (2.38").

These PVC straight connectors are suitable for standard residential cold-water supply and irrigation pressures (typically up to 150 PSI / 10 bar for Schedule 40 PVC at room temperature). Always verify the working pressure rating for your specific size and application before installation. They are not intended for hot water, steam, or compressed-air service.

PVC is inherently resistant to rust, scale, and most household chemicals including chlorinated tap water and common fertiliser solutions. The colour is moulded throughout the material, not a surface coating, so it will not peel or flake. Prolonged direct UV exposure may cause slight surface chalking over many years; for outdoor above-ground runs, a UV-protective paint or conduit sleeve is recommended.

The thread form is compatible with standard NPT (National Pipe Taper) and BSP (British Standard Pipe) female fittings in the same nominal size for most residential applications. Because NPT and BSP have slightly different thread angles and pitches, always use PTFE tape and hand-tighten first to confirm engagement before applying tool torque. If you need confirmed NPT or BSP certification, please contact us to confirm the exact thread standard for your size.

Wrap 2–3 layers of PTFE (Teflon) thread seal tape clockwise around the male threads before assembly. Alternatively, a PVC-compatible pipe thread sealant compound can be used. Avoid over-tightening — hand-tight plus 1–2 turns with a strap wrench is typically sufficient for a leak-free joint on PVC threads.

Yes. These straight connectors are widely used in drip irrigation manifolds, garden hose bib extensions, and above-ground water distribution systems. The corrosion resistance and lightweight construction make them well-suited for outdoor irrigation use. Ensure the operating pressure of your irrigation system does not exceed the fitting's rated working pressure.

The three colour options allow you to colour-code pipe systems by function or zone — for example, White for potable water, Blue for irrigation, and Grey for drainage or grey-water lines. This makes future maintenance, inspection, and troubleshooting faster and more intuitive. All three colours are made from the same PVC compound and carry identical performance characteristics.
