ASTM SCH40 & SCH80 PVC-U/C Female Coupler

Key Features

• ASTM SCH40/SCH80 compliant: meets ASTM wall thickness standards.
• Plastic-to-metal transition: enables convenient connection between PVC-U/C piping and metal male-threaded fittings.
• Solvent cement joint: plastic end permanently fused to pipe.
• All-plastic threads: corrosion resistant, lightweight, suitable for general industrial applications.

Manufacturing Process

Injection molded from PVC-U/C; one end is a socket, the other features female threads. Threads formed directly during molding. Socket dimensions and thread accuracy conform to ASTM standards.

Critical Process Parameters

• Female thread dimensional accuracy and form conform to ASTM standards.
• Coaxiality control between threads and socket centerline.
• Precise machining of socket ID, ovality, and chamfer.

Raw Material Characteristics

• Material Composition: PVC-U or PVC-C, conforming to ASTM D1784.
• Material Properties: PVC-U suitable ≤60°C; PVC-C suitable ≤93°C.
• SCH40/SCH80 wall thickness options available.
• All-plastic material chemical resistant.

Typical Applications

• Connection between ASTM chemical piping and metal male-threaded fittings.
• Interfacing plastic piping with equipment in industrial water treatment systems.
• Specific chemical media transport systems requiring all-plastic construction.

Application Scenarios

• Transition connections between ASTM industrial plastic piping and metal male-threaded fittings.
