Female / Female PVC Solvent Weld Coupling

Female / Female PVC Solvent Weld Coupling Codital (Reference: 5870) represents excellence in hydraulic connection. This essential component, designed by Codital, a recognised leader in PVC fittings, offers a top-level technical solution for all your water supply, irrigation and industrial installation projects. Its rigorous design meets the strictest requirements of both professionals and quality-conscious individuals.

Applications and benefits of the PVC coupling

This female-female coupling finds its place in a multitude of critical applications. For drinking water supply, it guarantees a safe and hygienic connection, essential for preserving the quality of distributed water. In the field of agricultural irrigation and watering, it enables the creation of robust networks capable of withstanding pressure variations and mechanical stresses. Swimming pool networks also benefit from its qualities, particularly its resistance to chlorine and chemicals. In industrial environments, whether in the chemical or food industry, this coupling provides the reliability needed for critical installations where safety cannot be compromised.

Technical specifications and innovation

Made from PVC PN16, this coupling offers remarkable pressure resistance, supported up to 16 bar at ambient temperature. The PVC-U (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride) material gives the product excellent chemical resistance, exceptional longevity and optimal dimensional stability. Compliance with European standard EN 1452 attests to the quality and reliability of the product, guaranteeing consistent performance over time. The range of available diameters, from 16 to 315mm, meets all needs, from domestic installations to large industrial projects. This dimensional versatility makes the Codital coupling a preferred choice for professionals looking to rationalise their stock.

Installation and implementation

Installing this solvent weld coupling requires careful preparation to ensure a perfect seal. Start by cleanly cutting the pipes to be assembled, ensuring perfectly perpendicular surfaces are obtained. Carefully deburr the edges to avoid any risk of seal damage. Cleaning the surfaces with an appropriate degreaser is crucial to ensure optimal adhesion of the PVC cement. Apply the cement evenly to both surfaces to be assembled, then firmly push together with a quarter turn to distribute the cement. Maintain pressure for a few seconds and respect the recommended setting time before pressurising. Ambient temperature directly influences drying time: favour installation in dry and temperate conditions.

Expert advice and product synergies

To optimise your installations, pair this coupling with other components of equivalent quality. The PN16 PVC valves and taps from our Codital range integrate perfectly into your networks. For large installations, consider using saddle clamps to create branch connections without stopping the main installation. In agricultural settings, combining with our Gardena irrigation systems allows complete and high-performance installations to be created. Absolutely avoid contact with aggressive solvents that could alter the properties of the PVC. For outdoor installations, protect connections from direct UV with conduit sleeves or specialised paints. During frost periods, remember to drain or insulate your installations to prevent breakage caused by the expansion of frozen water.
