IFAN BS 4346 UPVC Brass Socket

The UPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) brass socket is an essential component in modern plumbing and piping systems. It combines the durability and corrosion resistance of UPVC with the strength and conductive properties of brass, making it a versatile fitting suitable for various applications. The brass component enhances the mechanical strength, while the UPVC body ensures the fitting is lightweight, easy to install, and resistant to chemical and environmental factors.

Key Features of UPVC Brass Socket

1. Corrosion Resistance
   UPVC brass sockets provide excellent resistance to corrosion, making them ideal for both water and gas systems. The UPVC material prevents rust and deterioration from moisture, while brass is known for its resistance to corrosion in high-pressure environments. For example, in plumbing systems where the socket connects pipes carrying water or chemicals, this combination ensures long-term performance without frequent maintenance.
2. Mechanical Strength
   Brass significantly enhances the mechanical strength of the socket, allowing it to withstand high pressure and impact. This feature is especially useful in industrial applications where the system experiences significant mechanical stress. A UPVC brass socket used in a high-pressure water system, for instance, will maintain structural integrity over time, preventing leaks and system failure.
3. Versatility
   UPVC brass sockets are highly versatile, fitting different piping systems and materials such as metal, PVC, and UPVC pipes. This adaptability allows them to be useful in various residential, commercial, and industrial piping networks. For example, in a residential water system, a UPVC brass socket can easily connect a UPVC pipe to a metal tap or valve.
4. Chemical Resistance
   The UPVC component offers strong resistance to chemicals, making these sockets suitable for use in systems carrying chemicals or treated water. This feature is crucial in industrial setups, such as in chemical processing plants or wastewater treatment facilities. A UPVC brass socket can easily handle exposure to various substances without degrading.

Applications of UPVC Brass Socket

1. Residential Plumbing
   In homes, UPVC brass sockets are often useful to connect water supply pipes to fixtures such as taps, showers, and faucets. The combination of UPVC and brass ensures that the fitting can handle household water pressure without risk of corrosion or wear. For example, in a bathroom, a UPVC brass socket might connect the water pipe to a brass showerhead, ensuring a durable, leak-free connection.
2. Irrigation Systems
   In agricultural and gardening irrigation systems, UPVC brass sockets help connect different pipe sections, ensuring smooth water flow. These sockets withstand prolonged exposure to moisture, fertilizers, and the elements, making them ideal for outdoor use. For instance, a UPVC brass socket can be used to connect main irrigation lines to sprinkler heads or valves, providing a secure and corrosion-resistant link.
3. Industrial Applications
   UPVC brass sockets are widely used in industries that require high-strength, corrosion-resistant fittings. In such environments, the brass component provides mechanical stability, while the UPVC offers chemical and corrosion resistance, essential for long-term durability.
4. Hot and Cold Water Systems
   The brass component allows the socket to withstand higher temperatures than standard UPVC fittings, making it suitable for hot water systems as well. Whether it’s for a residential hot water supply or an industrial heat exchange system, UPVC brass sockets can handle temperature fluctuations without warping or degrading.
