What is the Atlas PVC Socket 50 mm × 1 1/2 inch Step Coupler and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

It is a stepped PVC fitting that connects a 50 mm pipe to a 1 1/2 inch pipe using solvent weld ends to form a permanent, leak tight joint. It helps interface metric and imperial piping networks commonly found in upgrades.

Question 2

Which pipe sizes does this step coupler connect?

Accepted Answer

It connects 50 mm PVC pipe to 1 1/2 inch imperial PVC pipe, providing a smooth transition between the two sizing standards.

Question 3

How does solvent weld installation work for this fitting?

Accepted Answer

Prepare and clean the pipe ends, dry fit first, then apply PVC primer to both ends followed by PVC cement on the outer surface of the 50 mm end and the inner surface of the 1 1/2 inch end. Push the pipes together fully and twist slightly to ensure full penetration. Allow the joint to cure per the cement manufacturer’s guidance.

Question 4

What materials and durability features does it have?

Accepted Answer

Made from high quality PVC, it is corrosion resistant and designed for moisture and chemical exposure. The interior is smooth to promote efficient flow, and it is suitable for medium pressure systems.

Question 5

What are common use cases for this stepped coupler?

Accepted Answer

Ideal for irrigation manifolds, water features, and plantroom connections where mixed metric and imperial components are used, especially in upgrading UAE installations.

Question 6

Is this coupler suitable for medium pressure plumbing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is designed for medium pressure plumbing systems. If you expect higher pressures or temperatures, check system specifications and consider alternatives rated for higher conditions.

Question 7

What are the installation steps you should follow on site?

Accepted Answer

Cut and deburr the pipes, dry fit the assembly, prime both ends, apply cement to the appropriate surfaces, insert and twist to seat, then hold until the cement begins to set. After installation, allow the joint to cure as recommended by the cement manufacturer.

Question 8

What safety considerations should I keep in mind when using solvent cement and PVC fittings?

Work in a well ventilated area, wear eye protection and gloves, avoid skin contact with cement, keep away from heat sources, and store cement and primers according to manufacturer directions.

Question 9

How does this option compare to other alternatives available on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

Question 11

What components or accessories should I pair with this fitting for a proper install?

Accepted Answer

Typically you will need PVC primer and cement suited for the pipe sizes, compatible 50 mm and 1-1/2 inch pipes, and any additional fittings required to complete the network. Ensure all parts are rated for the intended pressure and environmental conditions.

Question 12

Are there any considerations for outdoor or UV exposed installations?

Accepted Answer

For sun exposed areas, a UV protective finish is recommended to maintain durability and color under desert conditions. Plan for outdoor exposure and select materials accordingly.
