Common types of PVC pipe fittings include elbow, tee, coupling, reducer, adapter, union, cap, plug, valve, and cross fittings. Each fitting has a specific role, such as changing direction, joining pipes, controlling flow, or closing pipe ends.

An elbow fitting is used to change the direction of a pipe line. It is commonly available in 45-degree and 90-degree angles and is used in bathrooms, kitchens, drainage lines, and water supply systems.

A coupling fitting is used to connect two pipes in a straight line. It is commonly used for pipe extension, repair work, and joining same-size pipe sections in plumbing and drainage systems.

PVC is a common plastic piping material, uPVC is rigid and unplasticized, while CPVC is chlorinated and better suited for hot and cold water applications. Fittings should be selected based on material, pressure, temperature, and application.

Regular PVC fittings are generally not preferred for hot water lines. CPVC fittings are more suitable for hot water applications because CPVC has better heat resistance than regular PVC or uPVC.

A PVC pipe fittings size chart shows common fitting sizes and their typical applications. In India, common PVC/uPVC fitting sizes include 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm, 63mm, 75mm, 90mm, and 110mm.

To choose the right PVC/uPVC pipe fitting, check pipe material, pipe size, application, pressure requirement, hot or cold water use, quality marking, and solvent cement compatibility. For important projects, consult a plumber or product expert.

Solvent cement is used to join PVC/uPVC pipes and fittings by creating a strong bond between both surfaces. Correct solvent cement application helps improve joint strength and reduce leakage risk.
