Imperial /Inch PVC Pipe Fittings

They are widely used in industries such as water treatment, chemical processing, agriculture, irrigation, swimming pools, and domestic plumbing. Available in a broad selection of sizes and configurations, imperial PVC pipe fittings allow installers and engineers to design flexible, efficient, and long lasting systems. Whether you need elbows, tees, couplers, adaptors, or flanges, our range of imperial PVC pipe fittings offers the reliability and performance required for modern projects.

Key Features and Benefits of Imperial PVC Pipe Fittings

Imperial PVC pipe fittings provide several important advantages over fittings made from metal or other materials.

The first key feature is corrosion resistance. Unlike steel or cast iron, PVC does not rust, corrode, or degrade when exposed to water or many chemicals. This makes imperial PVC pipe fittings suitable for transporting potable water, chemicals, and industrial fluids without the risk of contamination or damage to the system.

Lightweight construction is another benefit. Imperial fittings are easy to handle, transport, and install, reducing labour costs and making them safer to work with on site. Despite being light, they provide excellent mechanical strength, ensuring systems remain secure under pressure.

These fittings are manufactured with precise tolerances, ensuring tight fits with imperial PVC pipe. This reduces the risk of leaks and ensures smooth system operation. Many fittings are designed for solvent welding, which creates a chemical bond between pipe and fitting for permanent, watertight joints. Threaded and flanged fittings are also available for applications that require modular or serviceable connections.

Imperial PVC pipe fittings are also pressure rated, making them suitable for both low pressure and high pressure systems. With options available for Class C, Class D, Class E, and Class 7 pipe, fittings can be matched to the requirements of the project. Many are also WRAS approved, making them safe for use in potable water systems.

Applications of Imperial PVC Pipe Fittings

Imperial PVC pipe fittings are used in a wide variety of industries and applications thanks to their versatility and reliability.

In domestic and commercial plumbing, they are used to connect and direct water in hot and cold water distribution systems, waste networks, and irrigation systems. Their lightweight design and WRAS approval make them ideal for both drinking water and general utility water applications.

In industrial settings, imperial PVC fittings are widely used to connect pipes carrying chemicals, compressed air, and process fluids. Their corrosion resistance ensures safe and reliable operation even in challenging environments where metal fittings might degrade.

In agriculture and irrigation, imperial PVC fittings are used to build water networks that deliver reliable supply to crops, livestock, and greenhouses. Their resistance to moisture and fertilisers, combined with easy installation, makes them a practical and cost effective choice for farms and growing facilities.

In swimming pools, spas, and leisure facilities, imperial PVC fittings are trusted for water circulation and filtration systems. They are resistant to chlorinated water and ensure leak free performance for circulation, heating, and cleaning systems.

In construction and infrastructure projects, imperial PVC fittings are used to design drainage systems, supply networks, and temporary water installations. Their flexibility, availability, and wide range of configurations make them suitable for projects of all sizes.

Installation, Handling and Long Term Value

Imperial PVC pipe fittings are designed for ease of installation and long term reliability. Their lightweight construction makes them easy to handle on site and reduces the need for specialist lifting equipment.

Cutting and preparing pipe is straightforward, requiring only a fine toothed saw or pipe cutter. For plain ended fittings, solvent cement is used to chemically bond the fitting to the pipe, creating a permanent and watertight joint. For threaded fittings, PTFE tape ensures a secure and leak free seal. Flanged fittings are also available for applications that require the system to be dismantled or serviced in the future.

The smooth interior of PVC fittings and pipe ensures efficient water flow with minimal friction. This reduces pumping costs in pressurised systems and helps maintain consistent performance over time. Because PVC does not corrode or scale, these flow rates remain efficient throughout the service life of the system.

Maintenance is minimal. Unlike metal fittings, imperial PVC fittings do not require painting, corrosion protection, or regular servicing. With proper installation, they provide many years of dependable service with little to no upkeep.

From a financial perspective, imperial PVC pipe fittings provide excellent long term value. They are more affordable to purchase than metal alternatives, easier to install, and less costly to maintain. Their durability ensures fewer repairs or replacements, reducing overall project costs over time.

Finally, imperial PVC is recyclable, making these fittings a more sustainable choice. At the end of their service life, fittings can be repurposed or recycled, reducing environmental impact.
