The pressure rating of PVC pipe and fittings reduces with increasing temperature. To calculate the actual pressure rating of the product at each temperature, the noted pressure rating must be multiplied by the 'de-rating multiple', as explained on our PVC category page.
The temperature derating table of this fitting is as follows:
PVC pipe has a recommended operating temperature of 0 - 60° centigrade (32 - 140°F).
This 1/2" x 1/4" plain spigot to FNPT reducing bush is compatible with 1/2" PVC plain socket-ended fittings, and 1/4" NPT male threaded fittings. It is not compatible with metric PVC pressure pipes or plain fittings; however, it is compatible with the 1/4" male NPT threaded end of a metric plain to threaded fitting. 1/2" pipe actually has an outside diameter of 21.4mm.
This 1/2" plain spigot (measuring 21.4mm outer diameter) to 1/4" FNPT reducing bush will slot inside the socket end of a 1/2" fitting to be solvent welded. 1/4" male NPT threaded fittings will thread into the female threaded end of this reducing bush.
PVC (or PVCU) is one of the most widely used plastics in general industry. Its ease of installation, rigidity, WRAS approval, and low price point compared to many other plastics makes it ideal for applications such as:
In addition, PVC pipe also finds its way into many domestic applications, including:
