Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the correct size ventilation socket for my system?
Select a socket with an outside diameter that matches the outside diameter of the PVC pipe you are using. This product is available in standard ducting sizes such as 50mm, 63mm, 75mm, 90mm and 110mm, along with other options, so check your pipe markings or measure the pipe outside diameter before ordering.
Can this PVC ventilation socket be used for chemical fume extraction?
The socket is made from high-chemical-resistance PVC and is suitable for many chemical fume and vapour extraction applications. However, compatibility depends on the specific chemicals, concentrations and temperatures involved, so it is advisable to verify suitability against your process conditions.
Do I need special tools or fittings to install this socket?
Installation is straightforward and usually requires only a suitable PVC solvent cement, pipe preparation tools (such as a saw and deburring tool) and basic safety equipment. Clean, dry and deburr the pipe ends, apply the recommended solvent cement to both the pipe and socket, then push fully home and hold briefly until the joint is secure.
