PVC fittings are essential components used in plumbing and construction to connect sections of PVC pipes. Made from polyvinyl chloride, these fittings come in various shapes, such as elbows, tees, and couplings, allowing for versatile configurations in piping systems. They are lightweight, durable, and resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for both residential and commercial applications. These fittings are typically joined using solvent cement, which creates a strong bond between the PVC pipes and fittings. Available in different sizes and pressure ratings, PVC fittings are commonly used in water supply, drainage, and irrigation systems, ensuring efficient fluid transport.
