PVC Socks

PVC socks: simple couplings for leak-free piping

Swimming pool technology is all about stable water circulation and an installation that works smoothly for years. PVC socks, also called socket couplings, are a basic component in this. They are used to connect two straight PVC pipes with the same diameter, for example when you want to extend a pipe or when you are replacing a damaged piece of pipe.

Because pool pipes are pressurized and continuously exposed to chemicals, it is important that you choose quality PVC socks suitable for pressure pipes. A correctly glued sock ensures a durable connection that can withstand chlorine, saltwater and temperature fluctuations.

When do you use a PVC sock?

PVC socks can be found everywhere in swimming pool installations. They are ideal when adjusting pipe runs, adding equipment or repairing a leak without replacing a complete pipe. Especially in technical areas where you want to build pipes tight and compact, socks are useful because they make a straight, neat connection without extra bends or complex fittings.

Also when aligning pipes towards pump, filter, heat exchanger, UV-C or dosing system, socks are often used to create a perfect fit.

Select diameter and glue correctly

The most common diameters used in swimming pool installations are 50 mm and 63 mm. A PVC sock should exactly match the outside diameter of your PVC pressure pipe. A correct fit is essential to have sufficient glue area and guarantee a leak-free connection.

For best results, work with PVC cleaner and a suitable PVC adhesive. Make sure the pipe is cut straight, deburred and completely dry before assembly. By gluing correctly you will prevent microleaks, air inclusions and stresses in your pipework.
