Whether you're fitting a full plumbing system, adding an upgrade or making a repair, it's important to use parts that won't let you down. The range of PVC fittings and plastic connectors at Ace is designed to slot straight into industry standard piping, ensuring leak-free joins with long-lasting quality.

Why Use PVC Fittings?

Although plastic pipe fittings are available in a variety of materials, PVC is the most popular for several reasons, including:

• Easy installation: PVC pipe fittings offer a great combination of strength and lightness, making them easy to install.
• Durability: PVC fittings have a little extra flexibility to help prevent fracturing.
• Flame retardant: PVC offers extra flame resistance compared to some other plastic types.
• Corrosion resistance: PVC fittings resist corrosion and don't leach chemicals into the liquids passing through.

However, plastic fittings can also be made from polyethylene, polypropylene, acetal, nylon and other materials to replace your existing plastic fittings with the same kind.

Main Shapes of Plastic Plumbing Fittings

PVC connectors are available in a variety of shapes to meet the unique needs of your project. Here is a sampling of commonly available plastic fittings:

• Tee fittings: A fitting type with three ends, tee fittings have two ends that form a straight line and the other at a right angle. They can either split one line into two, or combine two into one, and are one of the most widely used kinds of plastic water pipe fittings.
• PVC elbow fittings: When you need to change the direction of a single pipeline, PVC elbow fittings are go-to options. They can accommodate 90-degree changes for going around corners, or 45-degree adjustments for skirting obstructions.
• Couplings:Most often used in permanent installations, couplings simply connect two pipes of the same type to extend the overall length.
• Adapters:A special kind of coupling, adapters can fit together pipes of two different sizes or shapes.
• Unions:Not unlike couplings, union plastic fittings are typically easier to take apart. They are more often used as temporary plastic connectors than as permanent fixtures.
• Caps:They don't connect pipes but close off an open end of a pipe or connector. They're often used to prevent the flow of water from one part of a tee, while leaving the option of fitting an extra pipe later to expand the installation.
• Downspout adapters: Designed to connect square gutter pipes or similar downspouts to a round drainpipe, downspout adapters ensure the smooth flow of water without backing up.
