The most common ones are elbows, tees, sleeves, reducers, terminals, flanges, plugs and three-piece unions, as well as threaded accessories and products for gluing.

Q: How do I know what size PVC fitting I need?

The nominal or outside diameter of the pipe and the joining system must be checked. Two visually similar pieces may have different dimensions.

Q: Are all PVC fittings suitable for pressure installations?

No. It must be verified that the fitting is designed for pressure PVC and that its pressure rating is suitable for the installation.

Q: What do I need to glue PVC accessories?

The surfaces must be clean and prepared, and a specific adhesive for PVC must be used, following the assembly and curing instructions.

Q: How do I identify a PVC replacement part?

Please provide the diameter, part type, connection type, measurements, and photographs. A reference number or brand name is also helpful in confirming compatibility.

PVC pressure fittings allow you to assemble, extend, repair, and adapt water piping systems made with PVC pipe. In this category, you will find elbows, tees, couplings, reducers, terminals, flanges, removable unions, and other components used in swimming pools, irrigation, pumping, water supply, and hydraulic applications. The choice of fitting should be made according to the nominal diameter, type of joint, configuration of the piece, and working pressure . For glued connections, it is important to properly prepare the surfaces and use a specific adhesive for PVC. If you are going to replace an existing piece, checking its dimensions, type of connection, and photos of the assembly will help you identify the correct fitting.
