Plain Socket Imperial Pool Pipe Fitting

Plain Socket Imperial Pool Pipe Fitting

The Plain Socket Imperial Pool Pipe Fitting is a key component for connecting two straight lengths of imperial pressure pipe in swimming pools, spas, and pond plumbing systems. 

With plain solvent weld sockets on both ends, the fitting is designed to form strong, watertight joints when used with appropriate adhesive. It's ideal for extending pipe runs, replacing damaged sections, or completing new installations with confidence.

What Is a Plain Socket Used For in Pool Plumbing? 

A plain socket is used when you need to join two pieces of straight pipe without altering flow direction or creating branches. It supports alignment, structural stability, and pressure resistance across filtration lines, returns, suctions, or auxiliary circuits. Simple but essential, it enables a seamless, secure pipeline throughout your swimming pool system.

Colour Options

For 2" systems, this fitting is available in White or Ivory. Both versions have identical specifications, offering the same level of performance and pressure tolerance. 

• White is ideal if you're matching other white fittings for a clean uniform look. 
• Ivory offers a more budget-friendly alternative, perfect if visual consistency isn't a priority - but rest assured, it will perform just as well.
