JOINTING TO ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS

This section shows two common jointing configurations for uPVC sewer pipes to asbestos cement or clay sewer pipes. It is possible to have fabricated adaptors for jointing uPVC to any other pipe material and size combination required.

Adaptors are fabricated from unplasticised PVC and when dimentions allow, manufactured from heavy duty.

In the event of a joint being required when the flow direction is opposite to that shown in the diagram, then a plain section of uPVC pipe should be used.
