Socket-connect fittings are easier to weld than butt-weld fittings because the fitting doesn't need to align perfectly to the pipe. Slip the pipe into the socket and weld.

These fittings can stand up to high-pressure applications. Use them in noncorrosive environments.

Connect these fittings to thick-wall plastic pipe—they have thicker, stronger walls than standard-wall fittings, so they can handle heavy duty industrial plumbing and water supply applications, such as water processing, waste water treatment, and irrigation. They can withstand pressures up to 900 psi.
