Straight Connector

R4.50 – R5.50

Join two lengths of pipe into one seamless run. The Straight Connector links two pipes of the same size — tough black nylon proven for over 35 years in the harsh South African sun.

  • Extend your lines: connects same-size pipe to lengthen a run
  • Algae-resistant: the black colour blocks red light entering the pipe to prevent algae
  • UV-tough: black nylon resists UV degradation for long life
  • Secure fit: a registered barb design uses the pipe’s memory for a strong join

Black nylon fitting for polyethylene pipe to SABS-533 (class 3 or 6). Won’t increase pipe diameter by more than the recommended 10% when used with the correct pipe.

Description

Straight Connector pipe fitting. The Straight Connector pipe fitting is used to connect the same size pipe.

Fittings are made of black nylon, which is a tough and durable material. The reason these fittings are made black is to ensure the maximum resistance to UV degradation and to prevent the egress of red light into the pipe which could promote algae development.

These fittings have been tried and tested for over 35 years in the harsh South African sun and are still going strong.

Fittings are designed for use on polyethylene pipe manufactured to SABS-533 specifications (class 3 or class 6). When properly used with this specification of pipe, these fittings will not increase the pipe diameter by more than 10% as recommended by the South African Bureau of Standards. Any additional increase in pipe diameter beyond this can cause stress cracking, especially in pipe not made to specification or of inferior quality. These fittings are manufactured with a unique (and registered) barb configuration which is designed to take maximum advantage of the memory of polyethylene pipe, making it possible for the pipe to return to it’s original size between barbs and thus maximising the effectivity of the barbs and improving the strength of the join.
