When a standard tee or cross just won't cut it, DIY builders and irrigation installers reach for a 5-way equal connector. Whether you're routing water lines through a raised garden bed frame, building a modular PVC structure, or branching a pressure pipe system in five directions at once, mismatched fittings waste time and create leak points. These grey PVC 5-way equal connector socket fittings are engineered for clean, secure multi-directional joins that hold under pressure.
Each fitting is moulded from rigid grey PVC (polyvinyl chloride) with a smooth solvent-weld socket on all five ports. Available in five inside diameter sizes — 20mm (¾"), 25mm (1"), 32mm (1¼"), 40mm (1½"), and 50mm (2") — the connectors accept standard pressure pipe of the corresponding OD. Wall thickness and overall body dimensions scale proportionally with pipe size. Sold in packs of 1, 2, 3, 5, or 10 pieces so you can order exactly what your project requires.
Typical applications include PVC greenhouse frame construction where five-way joints create rigid corner and mid-span nodes, residential and commercial drip irrigation manifolds requiring multi-branch distribution, and modular furniture or display rack builds using schedule-rated PVC pipe. The equal-port geometry means every branch carries the same bore — ideal for balanced-flow irrigation pipe fittings and symmetrical structural assemblies.
All five sockets share the same inside diameter, ensuring uniform flow and a balanced structure in every direction — no reducers needed.
Moulded from schedule-grade rigid PVC for resistance to corrosion, UV degradation, and common household chemicals found in irrigation water.
Choose from 20mm (¾"), 25mm (1"), 32mm (1¼"), 40mm (1½"), or 50mm (2") to match your existing pipe system without adapters.
Standard socket depth on all ports accepts PVC solvent cement for a leak-free, permanent bond rated for pressure pipe applications.
Order 1, 2, 3, 5, or 10 pieces per size — scale your purchase to the exact number of junction points your project needs.
Suited for greenhouse frames, garden irrigation manifolds, modular PVC furniture, display structures, and multi-branch plumbing runs.

Match the fitting's inside diameter to the outside diameter (OD) of your PVC pipe. Standard PVC pressure pipe is sold by nominal OD: 20mm pipe fits the 20mm socket, 25mm pipe fits the 25mm socket, and so on. If you're unsure, measure the outer circumference of your pipe and divide by π (3.14) to get the OD, then select the matching size above.
Pressure rating varies by pipe size and wall schedule. As a general guide, smaller-diameter PVC fittings (20–25mm) typically handle higher working pressures than larger sizes (40–50mm) at the same wall thickness. For confirmed pressure ratings for your specific size, please contact us to confirm before use in high-pressure applications.
Yes. Rigid PVC is inherently corrosion-resistant and will not rust, rot, or degrade from contact with water, fertilisers, or common irrigation chemicals. The grey colour provides moderate UV resistance for outdoor installations; for prolonged direct sun exposure, painting or wrapping the fittings with UV-protective tape is recommended to extend service life.
No. These fittings are designed exclusively for standard rigid PVC pressure pipe using solvent-weld (cement) connections. They are not compatible with CPVC (which requires CPVC-specific cement), ABS pipe, or push-fit / compression systems. Always use PVC primer followed by PVC solvent cement for a code-compliant, leak-free joint.
Count the number of 5-way junction points in your project layout, then add 10–15% extra for mistakes during solvent welding (joints are permanent once set). For a small greenhouse frame with 4 corner nodes, a 5-pack is a practical starting point. For larger irrigation manifolds or bulk structural builds, the 10-pack offers the best per-unit value.
You will need: (1) a pipe cutter or fine-tooth saw to cut pipe square, (2) deburring tool or sandpaper to smooth cut ends, (3) PVC primer (purple or clear), and (4) PVC solvent cement rated for pressure pipe. Apply primer to both the pipe end and socket, then apply cement and push the pipe firmly into the socket with a slight twist. Hold for 30 seconds and allow to cure per the cement manufacturer's instructions before pressurising.
Absolutely. PVC 5-way equal connectors are popular in the maker and DIY community for building modular greenhouse frames, garden trellises, PVC pipe furniture, and display racks. For structural (non-pressure) applications, you can dry-fit without cement for a reconfigurable assembly, or solvent-weld for a permanent rigid structure. Ensure the pipe OD matches the socket ID for a snug fit.
