PVC sockets

PVC sockets: simple couplings for leak-free pipework

In pool technology, everything revolves around stable water circulation and a system that works trouble-free for years. PVC sockets, also known as coupling sockets, 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 replace a damaged section of pipe.

Because pool pipes are under pressure and continuously exposed to chemicals, it is important to choose quality PVC sockets suitable for pressure pipes. A correctly glued socket ensures a durable connection that is resistant to chlorine, salt water and temperature fluctuations.

When do you use a PVC socket?

In practice, you come across PVC sockets everywhere in pool systems. They are ideal for adjusting pipe runs, adding equipment or repairing a leak without replacing an entire pipe. Especially in technical rooms where you want to build pipework tightly and compactly, sockets are handy because they create a straight, neat connection without extra bends or complex couplings.

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

Choosing a diameter and correct gluing

The most commonly used diameters in pool systems are 50mm and 63mm. A PVC socket must exactly match the outer diameter of your PVC pressure pipe. A correct fit is essential to have sufficient gluing surface and guarantee a leak-free connection.

For the best result, work with PVC cleaner and a suitable PVC glue. Make sure the pipe is cut straight, deburred and completely dry before installation. Correct gluing prevents micro-leaks, air ingress and stresses in your pipework.
