Zodiac PVC adapter 1½ inch for gluing (UK) R0770300
The Zodiac PVC adapter 1½ inch for gluing (UK) R0770300 is the original straight connector used to bond a Zodiac salt chlorinator cell or union fitting
to 1½ inch imperial PVC pipe in UK style installations. It creates a secure, solvent welded joint between the clear cell body connections and the
pool filtration line while maintaining correct alignment and flow characteristics.
Main features of the Zodiac PVC adapter
- Original Zodiac PVC adapter for 1½ inch imperial pipework.
- Straight glue socket for use with standard PVC solvent cement.
- Designed for fresh water and salt water pool systems.
- Supports a neat, compact connection in tight technical rooms.
Function and application in UK installations
This adapter is used where the salt chlorinator cell is installed in 1½ inch PVC pipe and a glued connection is required. By using the original Zodiac
adapter instead of generic fittings, the sealing surfaces, insertion depth and positioning of the unions remain as designed by the manufacturer,
which helps to reduce pressure losses and avoid leaks over time.
- Provides a glue socket for 1½ inch imperial PVC pressure pipe.
- Interfaces directly with Zodiac cell unions or connection kits on the other side.
- Allows the cell to be removed via the unions while the adapter stays glued in place.
Compatibility and typical use
The Zodiac PVC adapter 1½ inch for gluing (UK) R0770300 is intended for installations built with UK style 1½ inch pipework. It is used together with
the clear cell housing and unions on compatible Zodiac salt chlorinators and is listed in the spare parts documentation as the dedicated 1½ inch glue
adapter.
- Used with selected Zodiac Tri, Tri Expert and Hydroxinator cells on 1½ inch lines.
- Suitable for imperial PVC pipe commonly used in UK pool filtration systems.
- Ideal when building a new installation or replacing damaged adapters on existing pipework.
Installation guidelines
Installing the Zodiac PVC adapter 1½ inch for gluing (UK) R0770300 follows standard PVC plumbing practice and must always be carried out with the
filtration system stopped and the line depressurised.
- Stop the filtration pump, close valves and release pressure from the pipework.
- Cut the 1½ inch pipe square and deburr the inner and outer edges.
- Dry fit the adapter and pipe to check alignment with the salt cell position and unions.
- Clean and, if required, prime the pipe end and adapter socket according to the solvent cement instructions.
- Apply suitable PVC solvent cement and push the adapter fully onto the pipe with a slight twist.
- Hold the joint for a few seconds, then allow it to cure for the recommended time before restarting the system.
After curing, connect the Zodiac cell unions to the adapter and check the assembly for tightness when the pump is switched back on.
Good practice for durable joints
Correct preparation and support of the pipework help this adapter to provide a long lasting, leak free connection in everyday pool use.
- Support the pipe on both sides of the cell so the glued joint does not carry excessive weight.
- Avoid overtightening union collars connected to the adapter to limit stress on the glued area.
- Inspect the joint periodically for signs of seepage, movement or stress cracks.
- Rinse the fitting with fresh water if it is exposed to concentrated chemicals or cleaning agents.
With a correctly installed Zodiac PVC adapter 1½ inch for gluing (UK) R0770300, the salt chlorinator cell is securely integrated into imperial 1½ inch
pipework while remaining easy to disconnect at the unions for maintenance on PoolParthub.com pool systems.
