PVC Pressure Faucet Socket 80mm x 80mm (3" x 3") BSPF is a PVC-U fitting with an 80mm solvent-weld socket at one end and a 3" female BSP thread at the other. It connects PVC pressure pipe to a matching male BSP thread, such as those found on valves, pumps, filters and other compatible fittings or equipment. It suits PVC pressure pipe with an 88.9mm outside diameter.
The socket fits over the PVC pressure pipe and is joined using PVC priming fluid and pressure-rated solvent cement. This joining method is known as a solvent weld joint, or SWJ. The female BSP end accepts a matching 3" male BSP thread.
The fitting is suited to commercial and agricultural irrigation, rural water supply, pump and filter connections, pool and spa equipment, general water transfer and compatible PVC pressure pipework. Do not overtighten the PVC threaded connection.
