Avonplast CPVC 32mm 1-1/4″ Coupler

The Avonplast CPVC 32mm 1-1/4″ coupler serves as a critical component in CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) piping systems, facilitating the seamless connection of two CPVC pipes of the same diameter. Here’s an overview of its features and functions:

1. Material: Constructed from CPVC, a type of thermoplastic known for its exceptional chemical resistance, high-temperature capabilities, and robustness. CPVC is widely utilized in hot and cold water distribution systems, as well as in industrial applications where resistance to corrosive fluids is essential.
2. Size: The coupler is designed to accommodate CPVC pipes with a nominal diameter of 32mm, corresponding to approximately 1-1/4 inches. This ensures compatibility with pipes of the same size, enabling easy and efficient joint assembly.
3. Design: The coupler typically features two socket ends, each crafted to receive the end of a CPVC pipe. The interior surfaces of the sockets are tapered, allowing for smooth insertion of the pipes, while the exterior surfaces are smooth to ensure a secure and leak-resistant connection.
4. Solvent Welding: Installation of the coupler involves solvent welding, a process where CPVC solvent cement is applied to both the outside of the pipe ends and the inside of the socket ends. When the pipes are inserted into the sockets, the cement forms a chemical bond that fuses the pipe and coupler, creating a durable and watertight joint.
5. Corrosion Resistance: Thanks to its CPVC construction, the coupler boasts excellent resistance to corrosion, ensuring longevity and reliability even in demanding environments. This makes it suitable for various applications, including residential plumbing, commercial plumbing, and industrial piping.
6. Application: Couplers play a vital role in CPVC piping systems, allowing for the rapid and straightforward connection of pipes without the need for additional fittings. They are commonly employed in both above-ground and underground installations for conveying hot and cold water, as well as various fluids in industrial settings.

In summary, the Avonplast CPVC 32mm 1-1/4″ coupler offers a dependable solution for joining CPVC pipes in plumbing systems, delivering strong, durable, and leak-resistant connections suitable for a wide range of applications.
