PVC pipes and fittings

Determine correct pipe diameter takes pressure loss into account

The table below shows the pressure loss of PVC pipe per 100 metres. The amount of water in M3 and the recommended pipe diameter at these water yields. When buying PVC pipe, always take these pressure losses into account.

Various PVC fittings

There are various pvc fittings available for joining pvc pipe. Highlighted below are some common pvc fittings.

Pvc knee and bend

A pvc knee and a pvc bend are both fittings used in PVC pipe systems to make directional changes. A PVC knee is an attachment used to bend a PVC pipe at a sharp angle, usually at a 45- or 90-degree angle. A PVC bend is similar to a PVC knee, but usually has a longer, gradual bend instead of a sharp angle.

Pvc sock and reducer sock

In a PVC piping system, "socks" are used as fittings to connect PVC pipes together or to make transitions to pipes of different diameters. A PVC sock, also known as a "straight coupler", is an attachment used to join two PVC pipe ends of the same diameter. A reducer sock, also known as a "reducer coupling" or "reducer sock", is an attachment used to join PVC pipes of different diameters.

Pvc T-piece

A PVC tee is an attachment used in PVC pipe systems to split a pipe in two directions, connecting a third pipe at right angles to the main pipe. It is shaped like the letter "T" and is often used for branching in pipe systems.
