PVC fitting made of PVC-U for glueing PVC tubes for creating a perfect water supply for your aquarium:
Type: ball valve with threads

Ball valves are suitable to only a limited extent for regulating. For exakt adjustments choose dosing ball valves, angle valves or membrane valves.

For larger diameters please choose butterfly valves.

Installation instruction:

Check if the PVC tube easily fits to the fitting. If the connection is too tight grind the fitting and/or the tube with sand paper to ensure mobility.
Work only in a good ventilated room.
Cleaner and glue are inflammable and their gases are heavier than air.
Do not smoke - do not weld - prevent spark formation and electrostatic charge - no open light and fire.
Do not inhale - keep used cleaning paper in closed boxes - wear protective gloves - keep away from children.
Cut the tubes rectangular and bevele and trim the ends.
Clean the surfaces of fitting and tube with PVC cleaner. Therefore put a little bit of the cleaner onto a paper towel and wipe the places for glueing carefully. Fat and dust has to be removed totally.
Coat the glue on both glueing places - first in the fitting, secondly onto the tube. For tubes with diameters larger than 40 mm (1.25") choose a larger glue container with application brush. The following bonding should be done without delay. Diameters larger than 90 mm (3") should be executed with two persons to reduce the open time of the glue.
Push the tube totally into the fitting without torsion or twist. A correction is - if even possible - only feasible for a very short time depending on the tolerance of fitting and tube.
Wipe away surplus glue with a paper towl.
After about 2 hours at room temperature you may startup the operation (pressureless). After 24 hours at room temperature the full maximum pressure is achievable. Lower temperatures extend the curing time.
Flush the pipework before using.

Mind the installation instruction of glue and cleaner.

The following adhesive bushes can be used instead of the threaded bushes. For example, a ball valve can be glued to a pipe on one side and provided with a threaded connection on the other.

"DN__" is the inner diameter of standard tubes (thin-walled tubes have a slightly larger inner diameter); "d__" is the outer diameter of the corresponding tube; "inch" is a parallel BSP thread.
