Merlett PVC-U Glue Socket 38 mm Blue Swimming Pool Hose Coupler

Merlett PVC-U Glue Socket 38 mm – Blue Swimming Pool Hose Connector

This blue PVC-U glue socket is purpose-built for connecting rigid or semi-rigid swimming pool suction and return hoses with an outside diameter of 38 mm (1½ inch nominal). The stepped, double-ended barrel design accepts the hose on the plain spigot end and mates with a 38 mm solvent-cement socket on the fitting end, creating a permanent, leak-free joint that withstands the continuous water flow and chemical environment of residential and commercial pool installations.

Manufactured in unplasticised PVC (PVC-U), the socket offers excellent resistance to chlorine, algaecides and common pool-treatment chemicals. The distinctive pool-blue colour makes it instantly recognisable during installation and routine inspection, and the moulded-in brand marking confirms genuine Merlett quality. Solvent-weld assembly requires no specialist tools: clean, prime and cement the joint in seconds, and the fitting is ready for pressure once the cure time is observed.

Compatibiliteit

Designed to couple directly onto 38 mm outside-diameter swimming pool hoses — including corrugated suction hose and smooth-wall pool hose — and to solvent-weld into 38 mm PVC-U pipe fittings, pump unions and filter tank ports with a 38 mm (1½ inch) glue socket.
