PVC Fittings
- Material: Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC-U) compound, typically meeting a cell classification like 12454 per ASTM D1784
- Minimum Required Strength (MRS): The material compound has a high long-term strength; typically related to the HDB.
- Hydrostatic Design Basis (HDB): 27.6 MPa (4000 psi) @ 23°C (73°F)
- Allowable Compressive Strength: ~60 – 80 MPa
- Tensile Strength at Yield: ~40 – 55 MPa
- Elongation at Break: ~10 – 50% (rigid material)
- Modulus of Elasticity (Tensile): ~3000 – 3300 MPa (approx. 400,000 – 480,000 psi)
- Flexural Modulus: ~2700 – 4000 MPa
- Poisson’s Ratio: ~0.38 – 0.41
- Thermal Expansion Coefficient: ~7 to 8 × 10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹ (or 0.07-0.08 mm/m·K)
- Pressure Ratings: Pressure rated to match the joining pipe schedule
- Available Diameters: 10 mm to 300 mm+
- Easy to handle, transport, and install
- Highly corrosion and abrasion resistant
- Weatherproof for underground applications
- Maintains water taste and quality — safe for drinking water
- Withstands high impact and underground movement without cracking
- Reliable supply and delivery across Rwanda.
- On-site technical and installation guidance.
- Dedicated after-sales and customer service team.
- Wide network of distributors for faster access.
- Consistent quality and support for every project size.
- Joining PVC Pipes: The primary use in all systems, allowing for changes in direction (elbows, bends), merging lines (tees, crosses), or stopping flow (caps, plugs).
- Residential and Commercial Plumbing: Used extensively in Drain, Waste, and Vent (DWV) systems to create complex networks that manage household wastewater and sewage drainage.
- Water and Chemical Treatment Facilities: Essential for joining pipes in complex manifolds that handle corrosive industrial chemicals, acids, alkalis, and potable water treatment chemicals, where metal fittings would corrode.
- Agricultural Irrigation: Connectors, couplings, and adapters are crucial for assembling durable and corrosion-resistant sprinkler systems, drip irrigation lines, and water distribution networks that handle fertilizers and pesticides.
- Swimming Pool and Spa Plumbing: Specific fittings are designed for use in chlorine and saltwater environments, forming the intricate circulation and filtration systems for pools.
- Electrical Conduit Systems: Used with PVC pipes to create protective pathways for electrical wiring and telecommunication cables, providing mechanical protection and managing changes in direction or branching paths.
- Light-Hazard Fire Sprinkler Systems: Specific certified fittings are used in certain types of fire protection systems within residential or light commercial buildings.
PVC Fittings
Coupling
Connects two straight lengths of PVC pipe for a continuous flow line.
45° Elbow
Changes pipe direction by 45 degrees, ideal for smooth flow turns.
Reducing Tee
Joins three pipes of different diameters, allowing size transition.
Reducing Coupling
Connects pipes of different diameters in a straight line.
95° Elbow
Changes the pipe direction by 90 degrees; commonly used in corners.
Equal Tee
Splits or combines flow into three equal-sized directions.
Flange
Provides easy connection between pipes, valves, or equipment.
Union
Allows quick disconnection of pipes without cutting; great for maintenance.
Cross Tee(Four-way Tee)
Connects four pipes at right angles for multiple flow directions.
PVC Elbow(Male/Female threads)
Threaded version of elbow used for easy screw connections.
PVC Socket
Joins two plain-end pipes using solvent cement or adhesive.
PVC Valve Socket
Used to attach a valve to the piping system securely.
PVC P/T Socket (Plain/Threaded)
Adapts from plain to threaded connection in one fitting.
PVC Tee ( Threaded )
T-shaped fitting with threaded ends for branching flow lines.
PVC Cross (Threaded)
Cross-type connector with four threaded ends for multi-line systems.
PVC End cap
Closes the end of a pipe to stop the flow.
PVC Female Adapter
Provides a threaded end for connection to male fittings or components.
PVC Ball Valve
Controls water flow with an easy-turn handle; used for shut-off points.
PVC vent or waste fitting
Used for drainage and venting in plumbing systems.
