d : Any water fitting, which when installed, will carry or receive water from the public mains water supply in the UK, must comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations or Scottish Byelaws. These require that a water fitting should not cause waste, misuse, undue consumption or contamination of the water supply and must be ‘of an appropriate quality and standard’.
Thermal Properties
PVC-U shows very good characteristics in the temperature range from 0 to 60 Degrees. At lower temperatures the impact strength drops considerably. For further information about pipes & fittings please click on our Tech Talk
BSP (British Standard Pipe) is by far the most common standard of thread for all pipework in Great Britain, so this elbow will fit most 2 1/2" threaded pipe fittings in the UK. The elbow is designed to accept a fitting of any material with a 2 1/2" male BSP thread, such as brass taps and can be mated easily with the use of PTFE tape. The pvc pipe should be cemented into the tee with the use of solvent cement to ensure leak-free pressure resistant joints.
