Polypropylene, high-grade copolymer.
Operating Temperatures
Plasson Fittings and Valves are designed for cold water applications to 20 Degrees C, for other applications, please contact us for specific guidance. The fittings and valves will withstand sub-zero temperatures.
Chemical Resistance
Plasson Mechanical Fittings are supplied as standard with Polyacetal split rings and NBR O-rings which are suitable for water. For specific chemical applications CPVC split rings and EPDM or FPM O-rings can be supplied, please contact us for advice.
Design
Series 7 Mechanical Compression Fittings and Valves for cold water systems, rated PN 16 (with few exceptions) and available in diameters 16mm up to 125mm. Captive o-ring seal provides life time protection against leakage and requires no nut tightening to achieve full seal. Threads, where existing, are designed to ISO 7/1 "pipe threads where pressure tight joints are made on the threads", internal thread designation "Rp" (cylindrical) and external thread designated "R" (Tapered). We strongly recommend the use of PTFE tape in threaded connections or other appropriate sealing material.
Description
Plasson Series 7 mechanical compression fittings for Polyethylene pipe have been in continuous use since the early 60's. Many millions of such fittings are providing safe & reliable connections for water mains throughout the world. The Series 7 line consists of a large range of fitting types, sizes and patterns with many unique solutions for everyday problems. Compression fittings and valves connect PE to PE pipes. Adaptors for connecting various other pipes such as steel, copper, PVC, PP and PB are also available. These fittings are used in the municipal and rural sectors, mining, industry, agriculture and communication lines. The products are approved by major European and global agencies for use on potable water.
