Female Socket 50×1-1/2″ RAKtherm PPRc

The Female Socket 50 × 1-1/2″ RAKtherm PPRc PN 25 is a brass-threaded transition fitting designed to connect a 50 mm PPRc pipe with a 1-1/2 inch male-threaded metal component such as valves, pumps, water meters, manifolds, or other plumbing and HVAC equipment. It combines a heat-fusion PPRc socket with a corrosion-resistant brass female insert to provide a strong and leak-proof connection between plastic and metal piping systems.

Product Description

This fitting is manufactured from Polypropylene Random Copolymer (PPRc) and incorporates a heavy-duty brass female threaded insert. The PPR side is connected to the pipe through heat fusion welding, while the brass female thread allows secure attachment to standard male-threaded fittings. It is suitable for hot and cold water distribution systems, HVAC networks, and potable water applications.

Specifications Female Socket 50×1-1/2″ RAKtherm PPRc

Key Features

• Corrosion-resistant PPRc construction.
• High-strength brass insert for secure threaded connections.
• Leak-proof heat fusion joint.
• Suitable for potable drinking water systems.
• Resistant to scaling, rust, and chemical attack.
• Smooth internal bore minimizes pressure loss.
• Long service life with minimal maintenance.
• Hygienic and non-toxic material.

Installation Procedure

1. Preparation

• Cut the 50 mm PPR pipe squarely using a PPR pipe cutter.
• Clean and deburr the pipe end.

2. Heat Fusion

• Heat both the pipe and female socket using a PPR welding machine at approximately 260°C.
• Heat for the recommended time according to pipe diameter.

3. Jointing

• Insert the pipe into the socket without twisting.
• Hold firmly until the joint cools and solidifies.

4. Thread Connection

• Apply PTFE tape or approved thread sealant to the male threaded fitting.
• Screw the male fitting into the brass female thread.
• Tighten using appropriate tools without excessive torque.
