Female Plain or Male Spigot x Female Brass Threaded Adapter

PVC-U, being a plastic, and brass, being a metal, have different thermal expansion coefficients, pressure resistance and corrosion resistance. In addition, connection techniques for each material are usually different, which further complicates the integration of mixed systems.

Common problems when connecting PVC-U and brass.

1. Differences in thermal expansion: PVC-U and brass expand and contract at different rates when exposed to temperature changes. This can cause leaks or even damage to pipes and connections if not handled properly.
    
2. Pressure resistance: PVC-U and brass have different pressure limits. Brass can generally withstand higher pressures than PVC-U, which means that connections must be especially robust to avoid failure under pressure.
    
3. Corrosion: While PVC-U is corrosion resistant, brass can corrode under certain conditions, especially if in contact with certain types of water or chemicals. This may lead to connection failures and potential system contaminations.

Solutions with adapters.

We have developed a line of transition adapters specifically designed to overcome these challenges and enable safe and efficient connections between PVC-U and brass pipes. These adaptors provide a robust and reliable solution, with several key benefits:

1. Adaptability: our adapters are available in multiple sizes and configurations, including female thread and male thread, to ensure a perfect fit for a variety of plumbing systems. The available sizes include: Female thread: 1/2" - 20 - 25, 3/4" - 25 - 32, 1" - 32 - 40 Male Thread: 1/2" - 20 - 25, 3/4" - 25 - 32, 1" - 32 - 40
    
2. Quality standards: manufactured in accordance with UNE-EN 1452 standard, these adapters comply with strict quality and safety standards. This ensures that the connections are durable and able to handle the demands of various plumbing applications.
    
3. Maximum safety: with a nominal pressure of PN10, our adapters are designed to withstand high pressures, providing peace of mind and reliability in any installation. High pressure resistance minimises the risk of leaks and system failure.
    
4. High quality materials: by combining high quality PVC-U and brass components, Hidroten adapters take advantage of the best properties of both materials.

This ensures excellent corrosion resistance and long system lifespan.
