Question 1

What is the Atlas PVC Female Socket 20mm × 1/2", Solvent-Weld × BSP Female, and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

This is a PVC fitting that converts a 20 mm solvent-weld pipe to a 1/2" BSP female threaded connection. It allows you to join 20 mm PVC pipe with threaded valves, gauges, or equipment by providing a secure BSP female thread on one end and a solvent-weld socket on the other end for the pipe.

Question 2

What materials is it made from and what does corrosion resistance mean for this fitting?

Accepted Answer

It is made from high-quality PVC, which resists rust and corrosion. This makes it suitable for indoor and outdoor plumbing, humid environments, coastal areas, and general water or air service without corrosion-related deterioration.

Question 3

What does solvent-weld mean in practical terms, and how do I install this adapter?

Accepted Answer

Solvent-weld refers to joining the 20 mm pipe to the fitting using PVC cement and primer for a permanent, leak-free bond. To install: cut and chamfer the 20 mm pipe, apply PVC primer and cement to the pipe and socket, push the pipe into the 20 mm socket fully, and let it cure as directed. The BSP end is female threaded and accepts compatible BSP male fittings with appropriate sealant or PTFE tape.

Question 4

What sizes does this adapter fit and what is its compatibility?

Accepted Answer

It fits 20 mm PVC pipe on the solvent-weld side and 1/2" BSP female threaded connections on the threaded side. It connects 20 mm pipe to compatible 1/2" BSP male fittings (with thread sealant or PTFE tape).

Question 5

Where is this fitting typically used?

Accepted Answer

Common applications include UAE pump rooms, RO (reverse osmosis) outlets, and irrigation heads. The PVC material is well-suited for humid or coastal environments, and UV protection is recommended for sun-exposed installations.

Question 6

How can I install this to ensure a reliable seal and long life?

Accepted Answer

On the 20 mm side, use PVC cement and primer to create a strong solvent-weld joint. On the 1/2" BSP side, apply a suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape before threading in the mating BSP male component. Make sure not to overtighten the BSP connection and allow proper curing time for the solvent-weld joint.

Question 7

What safety or environmental considerations should I keep in mind?

Accepted Answer

PVC fittings are widely used for potable and non-potable water applications. Ensure the fluids are compatible with PVC, avoid exposing the joint to excessive heat, and follow local plumbing codes. For outdoor use, consider UV exposure and use UV-rated or protected installations.

Question 8

How does this adapter compare to alternatives for 20 mm to 1/2" BSP connections on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

If you need a pure solvent-weld connection without threading, a standard 20 mm PVC socket without BSP would be suitable. If you require a fully threaded connection without solvent welding, a BSP male-to-female adapter would be appropriate. You can explore related fittings on Fepy to match your needs, such as 20 mm PVC socket adapters and 1/2" BSP threaded adapters.

Question 9

What is the expected value or benefits of using this fitting over non-metal equivalents?

Accepted Answer

PVC fittings like this offer corrosion resistance, lightweight ease of handling, and cost-effectiveness for typical water and air piping. They provide a reliable leak-proof solvent-weld joint on the pipe side and a standard BSP threaded connection on the other, making repairs and replacements straightforward relative to some metal fittings.

Question 10

How can I verify compatibility with my existing fittings on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

Check the product attributes for pipe size (20 mm), thread size (1/2" BSP), and connection type (solvent-weld/socket and BSP female). If you’re unsure, use Fepy’s search or product filtering to find fittings that match 20 mm PVC pipe and 1/2" BSP threads, then compare dimensions and pressure ratings.
