Simple Reducer Male / Female in PVC to Glue

Simple Male/Female PVC Reducer to Glue Codital (Reference: 5872) represents the ideal solution for adapting different pipe diameters in your hydraulic installations. This high-quality Codital technical fitting combines robustness, regulatory compliance and ease of installation to meet the requirements of both professionals and individuals.

Applications and Benefits

This PVC-U reducer finds its place in a multitude of applications: drinking water supply, irrigation systems, watering networks, swimming pool circuits, as well as in the chemical and food sectors. Its male/female design allows easy connection of elements with different diameters, optimizing the design of your networks.

Thanks to its ACS certification (Sanitary Conformity Attestation), this reducer guarantees healthy and pure water, without alteration of taste or quality. Professional installers appreciate its reliability and compatibility with all existing PVC systems. For individuals, it offers an economical and durable solution for all plumbing or irrigation projects.

Technical Specifications and Innovation

Made from PVC-U (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride), this reducer benefits from excellent chemical and mechanical resistance. PVC-U material is recognized for its dimensional stability, corrosion resistance and neutral behavior towards transported fluids.

Compliance with European standard EN 1452 guarantees optimal performance in terms of service pressure (PN16), operating temperature and durability. This reducer features a perfect finish with smooth surfaces facilitating flow and reducing pressure losses.

Available in a complete range from 20 to 315mm, it adapts to all types of projects, from domestic installations to large industrial infrastructures. Precise dimensions and tight tolerances ensure a perfect and watertight assembly.

Installation and Use

Installation of this reducer is carried out by PVC gluing according to proven professional techniques. After surface preparation (chamfering, degreasing), the application of specialized PVC adhesive allows for a definitive and perfectly watertight assembly.

It is important to respect the setting and drying times recommended by the adhesive manufacturer. Assembly must be carried out at ambient temperature, in a dry environment. Once installed, the reducer can immediately withstand moderate mechanical stresses.

Maintenance is limited to periodic visual inspection of assemblies. The nature of PVC-U requires no special treatment or protective coating. In case of intervention, disassembly is carried out by cutting, and repair by insertion of suitable connecting elements.

Expert Tips and Advice

To optimize your installations, consider combining this reducer with other Codital accessories: repair couplings, tees, elbows and PVC valves from the same range. This perfect compatibility guarantees the homogeneity and durability of your network.

Professionals recommend using progressive reducers rather than a sudden reduction in cross-section to minimize pressure losses. In buried installations, make sure to respect regulatory depths and protect pipes with a sand bed.

For outdoor applications, although PVC-U resists UV rays, protection by conduit sleeves or burial is recommended to preserve aesthetics and extend service life. During winter periods, draining unheated circuits avoids any risk of frost damage.

Mistake to avoid: never force during assembly. A difficult fit often indicates a problem with surface preparation or dimensional compatibility.
