What is Hydroplast sch 80 Female thread adaptor 1-1/4″ ?

 

A Hydroplast Sch 80 uPVC Female  Adaptor 1-1/4″ is a specific type of piping fitting used in various plumbing and industrial applications. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

Description:

• Hydroplast: This refers to the manufacturer, Hydroplast (Pvt.) Ltd., a company that specializes in thermoplastic piping systems, including uPVC pipes and fittings.
• Sch 80 (Schedule 80): This is a designation for the wall thickness of the pipe or fitting. Schedule 80 fittings have a thicker wall than Schedule 40 fittings of the same nominal pipe size. This increased thickness provides higher pressure ratings and greater durability. Schedule 80 uPVC fittings are typically grey in color.
• uPVC (Un plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride): This is a rigid plastic material known for its excellent chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and impact strength. “Un plasticized” means it doesn’t contain plasticizers, which are additives that would make the plastic more flexible. This rigidity is crucial for pressure applications.
• Female Thread Adaptor (FPT – Female Pipe Thread): This describes the connection type. A female thread adaptor has internal threads that allow it to connect to a male threaded pipe or fitting. It typically has a solvent cement (slip) connection on the other end to join with a uPVC pipe.
• 1-1/4″: This is the nominal pipe size (NPS) of the fitting. It indicates the approximate inside diameter of the pipe or fitting it is designed to connect to.

Key Characteristics and Specifications:

• Material: Un plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC-U), often made from 100% virgin compound.
• Color: Typically dark grey.
• Connection Type: One end is a female NPT (National Pipe Taper) thread for connecting to male threaded components. The other end is usually a “slip” or “socket” connection for solvent welding to a uPVC pipe.
• Standard: Typically complies with ASTM D2467 for PVC socket fittings, Schedule 80, and ASTM D2464 for PVC threaded fittings, Schedule 80. It may also meet NSF Standard 14 and 61 for drinking water system components.
• Pressure Rating: Due to its Schedule 80 thickness, it has a high-pressure rating, suitable for high-pressure applications. The exact pressure rating varies depending on the nominal pipe size and operating temperature, but Sch 80 PVC is designed for higher pressures than Sch 40.
• Temperature Range: Generally suitable for operating temperatures from 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F). Impact strength may decrease at very low temperatures.
• Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to a wide range of acids, alkalis, salts, and other corrosive materials.
• Durability: Highly resilient, tough, and durable, offering a long service life and resistance to rusting, weathering, and chemical action.
• Installation: Joined using solvent cement and primer. The slip end is solvent welded, and the threaded end requires appropriate thread sealant for a leak-proof connection.
