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 40mm x 1 1/4" plain to threaded MBSP brass composite union is compatible with 40mm PVC pressure pipe and spigot fittings, and 1 1/4" BSP female threaded fittings. The solvent weld end is not compatible with inch PVC pressure pipe or spigot fittings. The BSP male threaded end is compatible with BSP female threads on both inch and metric fittings. 1 1/4" pipe actually has an outside diameter of 42.2mm.
