Our metric PVC plain pipe fittings are available in commonly used sizes ranging from small-bore options up to larger diameters suitable for industrial systems. If you need a specific size and can't find it listed, get in touch with our team and we'll do our best to source it for you.

Are these fittings suitable for potable water systems?

Many of our metric PVC fittings are manufactured to standards that make them suitable for potable water applications. We recommend checking the individual product listing for WRAS approval or relevant certifications, or contacting our technical team for confirmation before ordering.

What pressure ratings do your metric PVC fittings support?

Pressure ratings vary by fitting type and size, but our metric PVC plain fittings are typically rated for use in systems operating at standard industrial pressures. Each product listing includes the relevant pressure specification. If you're working with higher-pressure systems, our team can advise on the best options.

How are plain (solvent weld) fittings joined to the pipe?

Plain metric PVC fittings use a solvent cement (solvent weld) method of jointing. The pipe end and fitting socket are cleaned, primed if required, and then bonded together using PVC solvent cement. This creates a strong, permanent, leak-free joint without the need for threading or mechanical connections.

Do you sell the solvent cement needed to install these fittings?

Yes, we stock compatible PVC solvent cements and cleaners alongside our fittings range. You can find these products on our website or ask our team to recommend the right adhesive for your application and pipe size.

Can I use metric PVC fittings with imperial-sized pipe?

Metric and imperial PVC pipe dimensions are not directly interchangeable, so mixing the two without an adapter is not recommended. We stock metric-to-imperial adapters and transition fittings that allow you to connect the two systems safely. Contact us if you need help identifying the correct adapter for your setup.

What industries typically use these metric PVC plain pipe fittings?

These fittings are widely used across water treatment, chemical processing, manufacturing, construction, utilities, and mechanical services. PVC is chosen for its excellent chemical resistance, long service life, and low maintenance requirements, making it a practical choice for a broad range of fluid handling applications.
