500A FITTINGS – SOCKET FLANGE PIPE FOR PVC
 
The 500A Socket Flange Pipe for PVC provides a robust and practical transition solution for connecting PVC pipelines to flanged pipes, valves, pumps or other network equipment. Combining a dedicated socket connection for PVC pipe at one end with a standard flanged connection at the other, it allows different pipeline connection systems to be integrated efficiently within the same installation.
 
Manufactured from high-strength ductile iron EN-GJS-500-7, the fitting offers excellent mechanical resistance, durability and long-term performance, making it particularly suitable for demanding water infrastructure applications such as drinking water networks, bulk water storage, process water systems, pump stations, sewage water networks and irrigation projects.
 
One of the main advantages of the Socket Flange Pipe for PVC is its ability to provide a simple and reliable transition between PVC pipework and flanged network components. The socket end is designed to receive the PVC pipe, providing a secure connection while avoiding the need for additional transition fittings. At the opposite end, the flange enables straightforward connection to valves, pumps, meters, fittings and other flanged equipment.
This configuration is particularly useful in pump stations, valve chambers, network extensions, repair works and existing pipeline modifications, where PVC pipelines frequently need to be connected to ductile iron fittings or flanged equipment. By integrating the socket and flange into a single component, the fitting helps simplify installation, reduce the number of required components and create a compact and efficient pipeline connection.
 
The socket configuration also facilitates pipeline assembly by providing a dedicated connection point for PVC pipe, while the flanged end ensures a strong and dependable interface with the rest of the water network. This combination makes the fitting a versatile solution for projects where different pipe materials and joining systems need to be connected reliably.
Available in a range from DN40 up to DN600, the fitting is designed according to EN 545, with flange end connections according to EN 1092-2 PN10/PN16. A 250-micron epoxy coating provides reliable corrosion protection and contributes to long-term service life, while WRAS certification makes the product suitable for drinking water applications.
 
Designed for working pressures up to PN16 / 16 bar, with pressure ratings of 1.0 MPa and 1.6 MPa and an operating temperature range from -10°C to +90°C, the 500A Socket Flange Pipe for PVC provides a dependable and adaptable connection solution for a wide variety of water pipeline systems.
 
The combination of direct PVC-to-flange transition, simplified installation, reduced number of components, high-strength ductile iron construction and reliable corrosion protection makes the 500A Socket Flange Pipe for PVC a practical and efficient fitting for modern water infrastructure projects.
