DWV PVC Slip Coupling SWJ – Versatile Solution for Pipe Repair and Extension
The DWV PVC Slip Coupling SWJ is a highly adaptable fitting designed for use in DWV (Drain, Waste, and Vent) systems. Unlike standard couplings, slip couplings do not feature an internal ridge or stop, allowing them to slide over a pipe for seamless installation. This unique design makes the slip coupling perfect for both repairs and extensions in situations where precise alignment and easy access are critical.
This Slip Coupling SWJ (Solvent Weld Joint) features female-to-female (F&F) connections, making it easy to join two sections of pipe without the need to cut, re-align, or adjust existing pipework. Whether you’re repairing a damaged section of pipe or extending an existing line, the DWV PVC Slip Coupling SWJ ensures a durable and secure connection.
Why Choose a Slip Coupling Over a Standard Coupling?
A standard coupling includes an internal ridge or stop that limits how far a pipe can be inserted. This ensures a precise and secure fit but also restricts the flexibility of the fitting during repairs or extensions. In contrast, the slip coupling can move freely over the pipe, offering greater versatility in installation. This makes it an ideal choice when you need to repair or extend a pipe without disrupting the existing pipe structure.
Key Features and Benefits:
- No Internal Stop: Unlike standard couplings, the slip coupling slides over the pipe for easy installation and adjustment.
- Versatile Repair and Extension: Ideal for quick repairs or extending DWV systems without cutting or re-aligning the pipe.
- Solvent Weld Joint (SWJ): Creates a secure, watertight bond using PVC solvent cement for long-lasting durability.
- Female-to-Female Connection (F&F): Allows for easy connection between two sections of pipe, ensuring stability and strength.
Applications:
- DWV Systems: Perfect for use in residential and commercial drain, waste, and vent systems.
- Pipe Repair: Excellent for repairing damaged sections of pipe without the need for cutting or major disruptions.
- Pipe Extensions: Suitable for extending existing pipework, providing a reliable solution for system modifications.
Specifications:
- Material: Constructed from durable PVC-U, known for its resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and environmental wear.
- Connection Type: Female-to-Female (F&F) with Solvent Weld Joint (SWJ).
- Sizes Available: Available in multiple sizes to suit different project needs and pipe diameters.
- Installation Method: Secured using PVC solvent cement, ensuring a strong and watertight seal.
Standard Coupling vs. Slip Coupling:
A standard coupling features an internal ridge that ensures pipes are correctly aligned and securely connected. However, for situations requiring more flexibility, such as pipe repair or extension, the slip coupling offers a more practical solution. It can easily slide over the pipe, simplifying the installation process and eliminating the need for cutting or adjusting the existing system.
Why Choose the DWV PVC Slip Coupling SWJ?
The DWV PVC Slip Coupling SWJ is designed to make pipe repairs and extensions easier, faster, and more efficient. Its lack of an internal stop allows for greater flexibility, while its solvent weld joint ensures a watertight, secure bond. Whether you’re repairing a damaged section or extending a pipe, this slip coupling provides a reliable, long-lasting solution.
