What is upvc Reducing Socket 4×3″ ?

 

A UPVC Reducing Socket is a type of pipe fitting used to connect two pipes of different diameters. In this case, it connects a 4-inch pipe to a 3-inch pipe, reducing the size from larger to smaller. The “GM” indicates that it is a Solvent Joint  fitting, suitable for pressure applications.

2. Specification

• Material: UPVC (Un plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride)
• Schedule: Sch 40 (Schedule 40), indicating the wall thickness suitable for pressure applications
• Size: 4″ to 3″ (nominal diameter)
• Type: Reducing Socket
• Pressure Rating: Typically up to 6-12 bar (depending on standards and manufacturer)
• Standard Compliance: IS, ASTM, BS, or other relevant standards (check specific product datasheets)
• Connection Type: Gasket/Mechanical joint (GM), suitable for pressure and water supply systems

3. Features & Benefits

• Durable and corrosion-resistant
• Easy to install and maintain
• Suitable for pressure applications in water supply, irrigation, and plumbing
• Cost-effective alternative to metallic fittings
• Designed for quick assembly with gasket and coupling systems

5. Installation Guidelines

Tools Needed:

• Pipe cutter or saw
• Gasket/Mechanical joint fittings
• Lubricant compatible with UPVC
• Wrench or spanner

Steps:

1. Preparation:
   • Cut the pipes squarely and ensure the ends are smooth and free from burrs.
2. Cleaning:
   • Clean the pipe ends and socket to remove dirt, debris, or any foreign material.
3. Assembly:
   • Apply a compatible lubricant to the gasket and the pipe ends (if recommended).
   • Insert the gasket into the socket of the reducing fitting.
   • Push the pipe into the socket until it seats properly.
4. Securing:
   • Tighten the mechanical joint or clamp to ensure a leak-proof connection.
5. Inspection:
   • Check for proper seating and ensure there are no leaks during pressure testing.

Notes:

• Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the gasket.
• Follow manufacturer specifications for torque and assembly instructions.
• Use appropriate PPE during installation.

6. Standards & Certifications

• Confirm the fitting complies with local standards such as IS 651, ASTM D3139, or BS EN 1452.
• Ensure the product is certified for pressure use and made from high-quality UPVC.
