Atlas PVC Female Socket 50mm × 1 1/2", Solvent-Weld × BSP Female, Corrosion-Resistant

The fitting is sized for 50 mm PVC pipe on the solvent-weld end and provides a BSP female thread on the opposite end. This allows you to join 50 mm PVC pipe to a mating BSP male threaded fitting or valve.

The body is made from durable PVC, which resists corrosion, scale buildup, and salt-air exposure. This makes it suitable for outdoor and long-run installations where durability and low maintenance are important.

Common applications include pump rooms, garden irrigation networks, RO make-up lines, and general water distribution where a tidy step-down from a 50 mm PVC pipe to a BSP male-threaded component is needed.

For the solvent-weld end, cut and deburr the 50 mm PVC pipe, clean and prime the pipe and socket surfaces, apply a compatible PVC cement, and push the pipe fully into the socket with a quarter-turn twist. Hold until set per cement manufacturer guidelines.

Wrap the male BSP connection with PTFE tape (or use an approved thread sealant) and hand-tighten the male threaded part into the BSP female end. Finish with a wrench to the manufacturer’s recommended torque, ensuring a leak-free seal.

The fitting is designed for standard plumbing pressures typical of cold-water and irrigation systems. Maintain proper pipe sizing and use appropriate gaskets/seals where required to minimize head loss and leaks on long runs.

Follow local plumbing codes and standards. Use compatible primers and cements for PVC joints, avoid exposing PVC to high heat, and ensure outdoor installations are protected from UV exposure where feasible (e.g., UV-resistant paint or cladding).

Periodically inspect for leaks around the BSP joint and solvent-weld area. Check for UV exposure, cracks, or scaling buildup. Clean, re-tighten connections if needed, and replace any worn components before major failures occur.

Compared with standard 50 mm PVC fittings that are slip-on or solvent-weld only, this product offers the added BSP female thread for convenient threaded connections, reducing additional adapters.

Ensure clean, burr-free pipe ends; use the correct primer and cement for PVC on the solvent-weld end; verify threads are clean and use proper thread sealant on the BSP end; avoid overtightening the threaded connection; and protect outdoor installations from unnecessary UV exposure with appropriate coatings or wrapping.
