UPVC PVC Pipe Fittings Tee Straight Cap Elbow Plumbing Couping 5 Colors 20-110mm

Match the fitting's inner diameter (ID) to the outer diameter (OD) of your pipe. For example, a 20 mm fitting accepts pipe with a 20 mm OD. If you are unsure, measure the outside of your existing pipe with calipers or a tape measure and select the matching size from the variant dropdown above.

UPVC (unplasticised PVC) contains no plasticisers, making it harder, more rigid, and slightly more pressure-resistant than standard PVC. UPVC fittings are available in Clear and Dark Grey. Standard PVC fittings (White, Blue, Grey) are slightly more flexible and are widely used for drainage and irrigation. Both types use the same solvent-weld assembly method.

These fittings are rated for cold-water service, typically up to around 60 °C (140 °F) at reduced pressure. They are not recommended for continuous hot-water supply lines above that temperature. For hot water applications, please use CPVC or copper fittings instead.

Yes. PVC and UPVC are resistant to corrosion, soil acids, and most household chemicals, making them suitable for buried irrigation lines and outdoor drainage. For above-ground outdoor use in direct sunlight, consider painting or wrapping the pipe to protect against UV degradation over time.

Use a PVC/UPVC solvent cement appropriate for your pipe class. For pressure applications, apply a PVC primer first to clean and soften the socket surface, then apply cement to both the pipe end and the fitting socket. Push firmly and hold for 30 seconds. Allow the joint to cure for at least 15 minutes before handling and 24 hours before pressurising.

Use a 90° elbow when you need to make a sharp right-angle turn in a confined space. Use a 45° elbow when you want a gentler change of direction that reduces flow turbulence and pressure drop — common in drainage and irrigation runs where smooth flow matters. Two 45° elbows can also replace a 90° elbow to create a wider sweep.

An end cap is glued onto the open end of a pipe to permanently seal it. Common uses include capping off unused branch lines, creating a dead-end manifold, or temporarily sealing a pipe during staged construction. Once cemented, end caps form a permanent, pressure-rated seal.

No — solvent welding chemically fuses the pipe and fitting into a single piece. If you need to correct a mistake, cut the fitting out with a pipe cutter or hacksaw and install a new fitting with a short repair coupling. This is why dry-fitting and measuring carefully before applying cement is strongly recommended.
