Zodiac PVC adapter 50 mm for gluing R0768600
The Zodiac PVC adapter 50 mm for gluing R0768600 is the original straight connector used to bond a Zodiac salt chlorinator cell or union fitting to
50 mm PVC pressure pipe. It provides a clean, secure transition between the clear cell body connections and the pool filtration pipework using standard
solvent cement.
Main features of the Zodiac 50 mm PVC adapter
- Original Zodiac 50 mm PVC adapter for gluing to pressure pipe.
- Designed to connect Zodiac cell unions or fittings to 50 mm PVC lines.
- Straight slip socket for use with standard PVC solvent cement.
- Suitable for fresh water and salt water pool installations.
Function and application
The R0768600 adapter is used where the salt chlorinator cell must be installed in 50 mm PVC pipe and the existing connection requires a glued socket.
By using the original adapter, installers keep the correct geometry and sealing area for the Zodiac unions and ensure a reliable, pressure resistant
connection in the technical room.
- Provides a glue socket for 50 mm PVC pipe on one side.
- Mates with the corresponding Zodiac union or fitting on the other side.
- Allows easy removal of the cell via the union while the adapter stays glued in place.
Typical use and compatibility
The Zodiac PVC adapter 50 mm for gluing R0768600 is used on installations where the salt chlorinator cell is mounted in 50 mm return lines. It is
specified in the spare parts list as the dedicated 50 mm glue adapter for compatible Zodiac cells and connection kits.
- Used with selected Zodiac Tri, Tri Expert and Hydroxinator cell union sets.
- Suitable for standard 50 mm metric PVC pressure pipe in pool filtration systems.
- Recommended when building a new installation or replacing damaged glued adapters.
Installation guidelines
Installing the Zodiac PVC adapter 50 mm for gluing R0768600 is a standard PVC plumbing operation and must always be done with the filtration system
stopped and the line depressurised.
- Stop the filtration pump, close valves and release pressure from the pipework.
- Cut the 50 mm pipe square and deburr the inside and outside edges.
- Dry fit the adapter and pipe to check alignment with the salt cell position.
- Clean and prime the pipe end and adapter socket if required by the solvent cement.
- Apply suitable PVC solvent cement and push the adapter fully onto the pipe with a slight twist.
- Hold for a few seconds, then allow the joint to cure according to the adhesive instructions before pressurising.
After curing, the cell union or fitting can be installed on the adapter, and the complete assembly can be tested for tightness when the system is
restarted.
Good practice for reliable joints
Correct preparation and support of the pipework help the R0768600 adapter to deliver a long lasting, leak free connection.
- Avoid excessive bending loads on the glued joint; support the pipe on both sides of the cell.
- Do not overtighten union collars connected to the adapter, as this can stress the glued area.
- Inspect the joint periodically for signs of seepage or movement, especially after winterising.
- Rinse with fresh water if the fitting is exposed to concentrated chemicals or cleaning agents.
With a correctly installed Zodiac PVC adapter 50 mm for gluing R0768600, the salt chlorinator cell is securely integrated into 50 mm PVC pipework and
remains easy to disconnect at the unions for routine maintenance.
