In this video, we will be looking at the specifications of the PVC Slide Fix Repair Coupling. This fitting allows you to easily repair or join sections of PVC pipe. PVC Slide Fix Repair Couplings are telescopic and can be extended or compressed to the length you require. They can also be used as a thermal expansion compensator.
Let’s look at the specifications.
- They are commonly used in industrial, agricultural, and other plumbing applications where quick repairs are needed to address leaks or damage to the pipe system.
- It is constructed from PVC.
- It features an EPDM double O-ring with a maximum temperature of 60.
- It comes with a coupling already attached to the telescopic end, saving you from having to make an additional join.
- Waterworks offers this fitting in sizes ranging from 15mm to 100mm.
- The pressure rating will vary depending on the size and fitting configuration. Sizes 15 to 50mm are pressure rated to PN16 and sizes 80 and 100mm are pressure rated to PN13.
- If the fitting is used at a temperature above 20°C, the pressure rating needs to be adjusted accordingly.
- It is designed to operate within a temperature range of 4°C to 40°C, keep in mind that PVC expands about 10x more than metal, so it’s crucial to carefully check the application, to make sure that it would be able to handle the amount of thermal expansion required.
