upvc Plug Tee 4" - AR Corporation

Description

GM made in Pakistan ASTM uPvc Sch-40 Pressure upvc Fittings, local fittings jeddah, ASTM D-2665 standard, plumbing building materials 0322-3540656

Material: UPVC (ASTM D1784 compliant, with additives for UV resistance and impact strength).
Size: 4″ (nominal diameter; actual OD/ID varies by standard, e.g., 110 mm OD, 100 mm ID per IS 4985 or BS 3505).
Pressure Rating: Typically 6-10 bar (depending on wall thickness; not for high-pressure use like potable water mains).
Temperature Range: -5°C to 60°C (softens above this; avoid freezing conditions).
Thread Type: BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads on the plug for sealing.
Dimensions: Main run length ~200-250 mm; branch length ~100-150 mm; plug depth ~50 mm (varies by manufacturer).
Standards: Conforms to local/regional norms like IS 4985 (India), BS EN 1452 (Europe), or ASTM D2665; “GM” may imply grey color for aesthetic or identification purposes.
Weight: Approximately 1-2 kg, lightweight for easy transport.
Certifications: Often ISI marked or equivalent for quality assurance.

Preparation: Ensure pipes and fittings are clean and dry. Use UPVC solvent cement (e.g., primer and adhesive) compatible with the material to create a leak-proof joint.
Assembly: Insert the tee into the main pipe line, aligning the branch. For the plug, screw it into the threaded branch using a wrench or by hand (apply thread sealant like PTFE tape if needed for extra sealing).
Gluing: Apply primer to pipe ends and fitting sockets, then solvent cement. Join quickly (within 10-20 seconds) and hold for 30-60 seconds to set. Allow 24 hours for full cure before pressurizing.
Tools Needed: Pipe cutter, deburring tool, wrench, solvent cement applicator.
Safety Tips: Work in ventilated areas (solvent fumes); wear gloves and eye protection. Avoid over-tightening to prevent cracking.
Local Variations: In regions like India, follow local plumbing codes (e.g., NBC or state guidelines) for soil type and depth; ensure proper bedding for underground use.

Primary Applications: Used in drainage systems, sewer lines, irrigation networks, or chemical effluent pipes to create a sealed branch point. The plug allows for easy access for cleaning, inspection, or future connections (e.g., adding a valve or extension).
Advantages: Corrosion-resistant, low maintenance, cost-effective (cheaper than metal). Ideal for non-potable water or waste systems.
Limitations: Not suitable for hot water, high-pressure, or direct sunlight exposure without UV stabilizers. Avoid in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations.
Maintenance: Periodically check for leaks; replace if damaged. For usage in “local” contexts, it’s common in rural or urban plumbing for affordable, durable solutions in variable climates. Always consult manufacturer guidelines or local plumbers for site-specific adaptations.
