PVC SV Junction Plain 50mm x 45°

Description

PVC SV Junction Plain 50mm x 45° is a plumbing fitting used in soil and vent systems to create a smooth, angled branch in a drainage line. Here’s a breakdown of its components and functions:

1. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Constructed from PVC, this fitting is durable, corrosion-resistant, and lightweight, making it well-suited for plumbing applications, especially in soil, waste, and vent systems.
2. SV (Soil and Vent): The “SV” label means it’s designed for soil and vent systems. Soil pipes handle wastewater from toilets, sinks, and other fixtures, while vent pipes manage airflow to equalize pressure and prevent blockages in the drainage system.
3. Junction: A junction fitting allows for a branch line to connect to a main drainage pipe. In this case, it facilitates the connection of an additional pipe to the main line, creating a Y-shaped configuration at a specified angle.
4. Plain: This junction is “plain,” meaning it has smooth connections without rubber seals. Connections are typically secured using solvent cement to create a watertight, long-lasting joint.
5. 50mm Diameter: The junction is designed for 50mm diameter pipes, which are commonly used in smaller drainage applications, such as connections for basins, sinks, and showers.
6. 45° Angle: The junction’s 45° angle allows for a gradual branch-off from the main line. This smoother transition helps maintain flow efficiency and reduces the risk of blockages, as waste flows more easily at a shallower angle compared to a sharper 90° turn.

Applications and Benefits:

• Efficient Flow Direction: The 45° angle reduces turbulence, ensuring that waste flows smoothly and preventing potential blockages.
• Airflow and Pressure Balance: In vent systems, this junction aids in equalizing pressure, promoting efficient drainage.
• Versatile Connection: The plain junction can be installed with solvent cement, ensuring a secure, leak-proof bond that withstands ground movement and pressure changes over time.

The PVC SV Junction Plain 50mm x 45° is ideal for branching off vent or waste lines in residential or commercial plumbing systems, providing an efficient, secure solution for maintaining drainage flow and venting in complex plumbing layouts.
