The Atlas HP PVC Female Socket is a UPVC fitting with British Standard Pipe (BSP) threads designed to accept a BSP male connection. It’s used to create secure, threaded connections between PVC pipes and hoses in industrial, agricultural, and residential piping systems.

BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. It ensures compatibility with other BSP-threaded components, providing a tight, leak-resistant seal when mated with a BSP male thread. For best results, use appropriate sealing methods (like PTFE tape) and avoid overtightening.

It’s made from high-quality UPVC, offering corrosion resistance and robust strength for long-lasting performance in a variety of environments. The one-piece design also helps ensure a reliable, secure connection.

Steps: (1) verify the BSP thread size matches your male connector, (2) clean the mating surfaces, (3) apply PTFE tape or appropriate thread sealant to the male threads, (4) hand-tighten the socket onto the male fitting and then snug with a wrench without overtightening, (5) check for leaks once the system is pressurized.

It’s suitable for a range of systems including industrial, agricultural, and residential piping. It’s designed for various liquids and gases that are compatible with UPVC materials and BSP-threaded connections.

The socket is BSP-threaded and sold per piece. To ensure a proper fit, match the BSP thread size on this socket to your male BSP connector and verify the pipe diameter or fitting it will join to.

Regularly inspect for leaks and signs of wear. Clean with mild soap and water, avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade UPVC, and store away from direct prolonged UV exposure when possible to preserve material integrity.

Yes, it’s designed for UPVC piping systems and BSP-threaded connections. Confirm that the pipe outer diameter and the BSP size match the socket’s specifications for a proper seal.
