 These Reducing Sleeves, or inserts as many people call
them, are to reduce the internal sizes of a particular pipe to enable a slightly smaller
pipe to fit the connection, whether that connection is to a socket, bend or some other
fitting - they should, of course, be solvent welded into place prior to the actual pipe
connection being made.
Reducing
sleeves enable the use of ball valves, slide valves and other fittings with solvent weld
waste piping as well as PVC pressure pipe. Simply glue over the end of the solvent weld
pipe before fitting to the appropriate valve or fitting. One required for each side
of the valve. |
