Supreme Aqua Gold UPVC Coupler Fitting SCH-80

The Supreme Aqua Gold UPVC Coupler Fitting SCH-80 is a type of plumbing fitting typically used in pressure piping systems. Here’s a brief breakdown of its components and features:

Key Features:

• Material: The coupler is made from UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride), a type of rigid plastic known for its durability and resistance to chemical corrosion, making it ideal for water supply and drainage systems.

• SCH-80: This refers to the Schedule 80 pressure rating, which is a measure of the wall thickness of the pipe or fitting. Schedule 80 pipes are thicker than Schedule 40 pipes, which makes them suitable for high-pressure applications.

• Coupler Function: The coupler is used to join two sections of UPVC pipe together, allowing for the extension or repair of a plumbing system. It typically has a socket design that enables the pipes to be inserted and secured.

Applications:

• Water Supply: Often used in residential, commercial, or industrial plumbing for transporting water.
• Irrigation: In agricultural settings, the coupler is used in irrigation systems where pressurized water needs to be transported.
• Chemical and Fluid Handling: Due to its chemical resistance, this fitting can also be used in systems that carry non-corrosive chemicals.

Benefits:

• Durable: UPVC is resistant to weathering, UV rays, and many chemicals.
• Leak-Free Connections: When properly installed, it ensures tight, secure connections that are leak-resistant.
• Cost-Effective: Compared to metal fittings, UPVC couplers are more affordable and easier to work with.

Installation:

• Typically installed with solvent cement, which bonds the pipe and the coupler together to ensure a leak-proof connection.
