PVC Reducing Tee Pipe & Fittings Solvent Weld Pressure Adapter Connector Black

Measure the outer diameter (OD) of both your main run pipe and your branch pipe. The first dimension in the size label (e.g., 50mm) refers to the run port; the second (e.g., 32mm) refers to the branch port. Match these to your pipe ODs — uPVC pressure pipe is sold by OD, so a 50mm pipe fits a 50mm socket.

uPVC solvent-weld fittings are widely used in mains-pressure cold-water systems. The actual pressure rating depends on the specific size and wall schedule. For critical pressure applications, confirm the fitting's rated working pressure against your system's operating pressure before installation.

Yes. uPVC does not corrode, rust, or scale internally. It is resistant to chlorinated water, most dilute acids, and common fertiliser solutions used in irrigation. It is not suitable for concentrated solvents, aromatic hydrocarbons, or high-temperature steam lines.

Use a uPVC-rated solvent cement (also called PVC solvent weld adhesive). Clean and lightly abrade the pipe end and socket, apply cement to both surfaces, push together with a quarter-turn, and hold for 30 seconds. Allow the joint to cure fully before pressurising — typically 24 hours at room temperature.

Yes. The black colour is a surface pigment only and does not affect the material chemistry or socket dimensions. These fittings are dimensionally compatible with standard metric uPVC pressure pipe regardless of pipe colour, provided the pipe OD matches the socket size.

For a single repair or one-off branch connection, the 1-piece option is the most economical. If you are plumbing an irrigation manifold, a multi-zone system, or a commercial installation with repeated reducing branches of the same size, the 3, 5, or 10-piece packs offer a lower per-unit cost and reduce the number of separate orders you need to place.
