Avonplast UPVC 1-1/2″X1-1/4″ REDUCER

The Avonplast UPVC 1-1/2″ x 1-1/4″ Reducer is a component used in UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) piping systems to transition from a larger pipe size to a smaller one. Here’s an overview of its features and applications:

1. Material: The Reducer is made of UPVC, a rigid and durable type of plastic known for its corrosion resistance, chemical inertness, and longevity. UPVC is commonly used in piping systems for conveying water, chemicals, and other fluids.
2. Size: The Reducer has a larger nominal size of 1-1/2″ on one end and a smaller nominal size of 1-1/4″ on the other end. This size difference allows for the reduction of pipe size while maintaining compatibility with pipes of different diameters.
3. Design: The Reducer features solvent weld connections, which involve applying solvent cement to the pipe ends and fitting sockets to create a strong and permanent bond. This design ensures a secure and leak-proof connection between pipes of different sizes.
4. Versatility: Reducers are essential components in piping systems that require transitions between different pipe sizes. They are commonly used in applications such as water distribution, irrigation, swimming pool plumbing, and industrial processes.
5. Pressure Rating: The Reducer is designed to withstand standard operating pressures commonly encountered in plumbing and industrial applications. It is essential to adhere to recommended pressure ratings and installation guidelines to ensure optimal performance and safety.
6. Corrosion Resistance: UPVC material provides excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and UV radiation, making the Reducer suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including potable water systems, chemical processing, and irrigation.
7. Easy Installation: The Reducer can be easily installed using solvent cement, which creates a strong and reliable bond between the pipes and fittings. Proper surface preparation and solvent cement application are crucial to ensure a secure connection.
8. Cost-Effective Solution: Reducers offer a cost-effective solution for adapting piping systems to accommodate changes in pipe size or flow requirements. They eliminate the need for complex and expensive modifications to the piping layout.

In summary, the Avonplast UPVC 1-1/2″ x 1-1/4″ Reducer provides a reliable and versatile solution for transitioning between different pipe sizes in UPVC piping systems. Its durable construction, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation make it suitable for various plumbing, industrial, and agricultural applications.
