We serve customers in the electrical, telecommunications and utility industries, who work in municipal, industrial, commercial and residential areas.
Pipe Fittings Manufacturing Process
To fuse pipes and fittings using the solvent welding process, we apply a solvent to the surface of a PVC pipe spigot as well as to the inside of a matching bell. The solvent dissolves some of the chemical bonds in the plastic, and “melts” the bell and spigot together. The solvent slowly evaporates, and the joint essentially functions as a continuous pipe.
