Hydroplast sch 80 upvc Socket 12″

• Hydroplast Schedule 80 UPVC (Un plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) Socket 12″ is a high-strength pipe fitting designed for joining pipes with a 12-inch nominal size.
• The Schedule 80 rating means it has a thicker wall compared to Schedule 40, providing enhanced pressure handling and durability.
• The fitting is a socket type, meaning one end features an internal diameter socket sized to receive and join with the outer diameter of a pipe, typically through solvent cement welding.
• UPVC material offers excellent chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and rigidity. It’s well-suited for corrosive environments where metal piping may degrade quickly.
• Hydroplast is a reputed brand that supplies durable UPVC plumbing and industrial pipe fittings suitable for various applications, especially in Pakistan and other local/global markets.

Material and Standards:

• Material: Un plasticized PVC (UPVC)
• Pressure Rating: Suitable for medium to high pressure systems, typical for Schedule 80 fittings.
• Temperature Resistance: Operates reliably up to approx 140 °F (~60 °C).
• Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to acids, bases, solvents, and various corrosive fluids.
• Standards: Generally meet ASTM D2467 or equivalent for PVC Schedule 80 socket fittings ensuring dimensional consistency and reliability.

Physical Specifications (Typical for 12″ Schedule 80 Socket Fitting)

• Nominal Size: 12″
• Schedule: 80 (thicker walls for higher pressure)
• Socket Diameter & Depth: Designed for 12” Schedule 80 PVC pipe insertion.
• Color: Usually gray for industrial UPVC fittings.
• Dimension Tolerances: Meets ASTM or equivalent standards for socket lengths, diameters, and thicknesses .

Features:

• High pressure and impact resistance due to thicker walls.
• Chemical inertness suitable for industrial chemical transport, water treatment plants, irrigation systems, and plumbing.
• Lightweight compared to metal alternatives, making installation easier.
• Long-lasting and corrosion-free in harsh environments.
• Can be joined via solvent cement providing a leak-proof and permanent joint.

Typical Usage & Applications

Hydroplast Schedule 80 UPVC Socket 12″ fittings are widely used in the following scenarios:

• Industrial piping systems: Handling corrosive fluids in chemical processing plants where metal piping corrodes quickly.
• Water treatment and supply: Especially in systems requiring high pressure and chemical resistance.
• Irrigation systems: For high-volume water distribution where durability under pressure is important.
• Wastewater and drainage: Handling aggressive sewage or industrial waste fluids safely.
• Marine and aquaculture: Due to resistance against saltwater corrosion.
• Power plants and manufacturing: To transport cooling water or chemical additives.

Important Notes on Installation:

• Use proper solvent cement designed for Schedule 80 UPVC fittings.
• Always ensure pipes and fittings are clean and dry before joining.
• Follow pressure and temperature limits to ensure long-term integrity.
• Check Hydroplast or supplier catalog/data sheets for precise dimensional details and pressure ratings.
