DWV PVC Level Inverter Taper M&F – Efficient Flow Transition for DWV Systems
The DWV PVC Level Inverter Taper M&F, also known as a Level Invert Reducer, is designed to connect pipes of different diameters while maintaining a consistent invert level. This feature is crucial for gravity-fed systems, such as sewers, where maintaining a smooth and uninterrupted flow is necessary. The larger end fits into a pipe, while the smaller end receives another pipe, forming a watertight seal using SWJ (Solvent Weld Joints).
What is a DWV PVC Level Inverter Taper M&F?
Unlike a socket reducer, which simply connects pipes of different sizes, the level inverter taper maintains the invert level—the internal bottom surface of the pipe. This is important in horizontal installations where gravity helps move water or waste. The taper ensures there are no sudden changes in elevation that could disrupt the flow or create blockages, making it ideal for sewer systems.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Smooth Flow Transition: Joins pipes of different sizes while keeping the invert level consistent, preventing flow disruptions.
- M&F Design: One end fits into a larger pipe, while the other accepts a smaller pipe, creating a watertight seal.
- SWJ Spigots and Sockets: Ensures secure, leak-proof connections using solvent weld joints.
- Horizontal Use: Perfect for gravity-fed systems like sewers where maintaining smooth flow is essential.
Difference Between a Level Inverter Taper and a Socket Reducer:
A level inverter taper is used when maintaining the invert level is critical, particularly in horizontal applications such as sewer systems. It ensures that the water or waste continues to flow smoothly without sudden changes in elevation, which can cause blockages or disruptions. On the other hand, a socket reducer is typically used in vertical installations or non-gravity systems where maintaining the invert level isn’t necessary. The level inverter taper is therefore ideal for gravity-fed systems, while the socket reducer suits non-gravity-fed systems.
Applications:
- Drain, Waste, and Vent Systems: Ideal for horizontal installations in systems that rely on gravity for smooth flow.
- Sewer Systems: Ensures consistent flow and prevents blockages by maintaining the invert level.
- Residential and Commercial Plumbing: Suitable for any plumbing system that requires the connection of different pipe sizes while maintaining consistent flow.
