Schedule 40 PVC 2" - 3" Reducer Coupling - Slip x Slip

Wed, 29 Jun 2011 09:20:00 GMT

Schedule 40 PVC 2" - 3" Reducer Coupling - Slip x Slip
Buy Now: $12.99

2" - 3" Reducer (Slip x Slip)

PVC reducing couplings are (Slip x Slip) type PVC fittings which are used to connect (2) unequal PVC pipes together, or to reduce from a larger diameter PVC pipe to a smaller one. The PVC schedule 40 fittings we have can be used in the installation of water systems for making a manifold for a drip system or in the main lateral for ease of pipe installation

1" Deep Glueing Surface - Perfect for Flexible PVC Pipe

Corrosion resistant pressure pipe

Generally resistant to most acids, bases, salts, aliphatic solutions, oxidants, and halogens; the fittings exhibit excellent physical properties and flammability characteristics.

The smooth interior surfaces of PVC Schedule 40 fittings assure low friction loss and high flow rate. Because the PVC pipe and fittings do not rust, pit, scale, or corrode, the high flow rate continues for the life of the piping system.

Typical uses include irrigation, potable water systems, water and wastewater treatment, drainage, agricultural, and other applications involving corrosive fluid transfer.

Materials: Domestically produced rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compound, Type 1 Grade 1, with a Cell Classification of 12454 as defined in ASTM D1784

Pressure rating : Up to 200 PSI

Temperature range: Up to 140°F

Installation for PVC

Whether you are installing a new irrigation system or only making a repair, knowing how to install the PVC fittings and pipe can be a useful skill that can make your irrigation system last. Please read below our recommendations for a good installation or repair.

Tools and materials suggested:

Replacement PVC pipes
PVC fittings
PVC glue
PVC cutter
PVC cleaning solution
Tape measure

Before you begin the process of installing a new irrigation system or start a repair, please be aware of the correct steps needed, and that inspection is needed on completion.

After inspecting the system and finding the cause of the problem, you will be in the position to know the equipment needed for the repair. If you are unable to obtain the PVC fittings in the correct size, you may need to use some combination of fittings to satisfy your need.

Once you have all the required measurements, cut the PVC pipe in accordance with your notes. Stretch the tape measure along the pipe to the required length and mark the distance to be cut with a pencil line. Secure the fittings to prevent them from slipping while they are being cut. Ensure that your efforts were correct by drying the fitting and pipe and then testing that they slot into place as they should and are properly aligned. When the fittings are firmly in place and secure, trace a pencil line along the edge of the fittings so that you can return them to the correct position when you glue them. Once this is complete, you can disassemble the pipe and fittings.

Make sure that the fittings and pipe are clean. Open the Red and Blue PVC glue and using the brush swab the glue around the outside edges of the pipes and inside the side of the fitting you are gluing. Make sure to limit this action to the portions that will be fitted together, Insert the pipe into the fitting and allow it to dry for a few seconds. When all the parts are correctly in place, quickly use a rag to wipe away any excess glue that remains on the outside of the pipes before it dries. After completing the job refrain from turning on the system for a few hours. After few hours pass, you may cover some of the pipe but leave all the connections exposed. Turn the system on and review to make sure that no leaks are found. At this point you can cover the rest of the pipe.

Aquascape Economy 1/2 Inch Automatic Waterfill Float Valve Assembly for Water Gardens & Fountains

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 09:02:00 GMT

Aquascape Economy 1/2 Inch Automatic Waterfill Float Valve Assembly for Water Gardens & Fountains
Buy Now: ~~$24.98~~ $19.98

1/2" FLOAT VALVE ASSEMBLY

Used on water garden skimmers for years before the invention of the Hudson Waterfill Valve. If you have room in your skimmer box, this is an economical way to add water to your pond automatically. Whether your pond's water level drops from evaporation or a small unfound leak, an automatic waterfill valve will keep the water level topped off automatically. This will save you time and agravation over having to worry about having to add or not to add water each day.

Aquascape 1/2" Economy Waterfill Valve Includes:

Brass Waterfill Valve Assembly
Float (Color may come as Black or White) can use vertically or horizontally to fit in many different applications.
Float measures: 3.5" x 1.25" x 2.5"
Water Input = ¼" NPT Female Threads & ½" NPT Male Threads (If needed, plumbing adapters are available at any local plumbing supply store to connect to any other special threads from your water supply).
Requires a ¾" mounting hole & includes washer & brass nut.
Brass float arm is 4½" in length (but can be cut and rethreaded/glued if shorter arm length is required)
Float arm has (2) pre-set float adjustment slots or can be flipped over for multible minut adjustments for multi-purpose installations.
Valve pivots on brass cotter pin with a rubber washer against a stainless steel seat

NOTE: For customers who own the old style Aquascape Float Assembly (1995 - 2007), we have been asked if the float can be sold separately. The answer is: no it can not. We purchase these kits complete from the manufacturer and can not break up a kit. These new updated kits should last longer than the previous models which some had a problem with the floats breaking when banged against with force.

Installation Instructions:

Drill a ¾" hole in the rear of your skimmer box above the water line. Install the Waterfill Valve with the rubber washer against the inside of the skimmer box so the threads protrude out the back. Attach washer & nut to threaded end and secure against the outer rear wall of the skimmer. Attach your waterfill hose (adapter may be necessary depending upon type of hose used). Fill your pond's water level to the recommended height. Next, loosen the screw(s) on the float rod where it attaches to the Waterfill Valve. Turn the hose spigot on so water flows from the waterfill valve. Adjust the level of the float so the water just stops flowing. Tighten the screw(s).

You are now complete. As the pond's water level drops, the float will lower allowing the waterfill's internal valve to open and replensh the lost water in the pond. It will automatically shut off when it reaches the desired shut off hieight you selected earlier. You can gently bend the float rod to make any fine tune adjustments as necessary. It is the same valve that is in many toilet water tanks and works the same way.
