Description
Aquatherm 1020063906 2" Socket End Cap
Manufactured without heavy metals and toxic chemicals, aquatherm green is the safest option for potable water systems, including food/beverage processing and domestic water piping systems.
Many piping materials, like copper and inferior plastics, allow trace amounts of chemicals to leach from the pipe walls and into the water it carries. Not aquatherm green.
Made from polypropylene, aquatherm green doesn’t react with water. This prevents leaching, corrosion, scaling and erosion—major causes of water contamination and long-term piping failure.
aquatherm green is also installed using heat fusion. Since there’s no glue, solder or gasket on the connection, the potable water system remains free of hazardous chemicals. Plus, the distinct color of aquatherm green blocks sunlight from passing through the pipe wall and promoting biofilm formation.
aquatherm green is certified in accordance with UPC, IPC, IRC and the NPC-Canada for hot and cold potable water systems. When you choose aquatherm green for your projects, you can rest assured that drinking water stays pure from source to destination.
Socket Fusion
Socket fusion is used for pipe and fittings from sizes ½” to 4”. To perform a proper fusion, the pipe is cut, marked for insertion depth and heated along with the fitting socket for a specified time. The pipe and fitting are then pushed together and allowed to cool while held in place. The pressure for these connections comes from the OD of the pipe being slightly larger than the ID of the fitting. Marking the pipe to the proper insertion depth helps bring the connection to its maximum strength without flow restriction.Sizes
