This PVC-U Union Adaptor is perfect for connecting 50mm PVC pipe to 1 1/2" BSP Male threaded accessories. Unions allow you to quickly connect or disconnect installations without the need to cut the pipe. HydroSure PVC-U fittings are WRAS approved so they are safe to use with drinking water. Connecting PVC fittings to pipe requires cleaning fluid and solvent cement. Apply a bit of cleaning fluid to a cloth and clean the inside of the fitting up to the stopping point and the outside of the pipe. This will allow the solvent cement to be as effective as possible. Once the pipe and fitting have been cleaned properly, a good amount of solvent cement should be run around the inside of the fitting and the outside of the pipe up to the stopping points using a clean brush. After applying the cleaning fluid and solvent cement to the pipe and connector, simply push the pipe up to the stopping point in the connector and hold firmly for roughly 30 seconds to prevent the pipe from pushing out, if working in cold conditions, it may be necessary to hold for longer. Wipe any excess cement off of the pipe and fitting and then leave to dry. The longer the cement is left to dry, the more secure the bond will become. However, if unsure, we recommend leaving for a minimum of 30 minutes to dry. Technical Specifications: Maximum Working Pressure: 15 Bar Operating Temperature Range: 0°C to 60°C Note: Make use of HydroSure PVC-U Cleaning Fluid to ensure your pipe and fittings are clean before using HydroSure PVC-U Solvent Cement to bond the fittings to the pipe.
