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:

Temperature (°C)	Pressure Rating (bar)
20	10
30	8
40	5.8
50	3.9
60	2.2

PVC pipe has a recommended operating temperature of 0 - 60° centigrade (32 - 140°F).

This 20mm x 1/2" plain spigot to MBSP nipple is compatible with 20mm PVC plain socket-ended fittings, and 1/2" BSP female threaded fittings. The solvent weld end is not compatible with inch PVC socket-ended fittings. The BSP male threaded end is compatible with BSP female threads on both inch and metric fittings. 1/2" pipe actually has an outside diameter of 21.4mm.

The 20mm spigot end (measuring 20mm outside diameter) of this plain spigot to MBSP nipple will slot inside the socket end of a 20mm fitting to be solvent welded. The 1/2" male BSP threaded end will thread into 1/2" female threaded fittings.
