1. Robust Construction for Industrial Applications
The GF PVC-U050 Tank Connector with 1 Inch G Male Thread is engineered for heavy-duty industrial use, featuring a durable UPVC body and EPDM seal. This combination ensures resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and UV degradation, making it ideal for water storage, wastewater treatment, and agricultural systems. The 1-inch G thread provides a secure fit with standard tank outlets, while the union design simplifies installation and maintenance. With a pressure rating of PN15 and temperature compatibility from 0°C to 60°C, this connector delivers reliable performance in demanding environments. GF’s 65-year legacy in PVC-U systems guarantees compliance with global standards like WRAS, ensuring safety and longevity.
2. Precision Engineering for Leak-Free Performance
Designed for critical connections, this tank connector integrates a precision-molded thread and gasket to prevent leaks under pressure. The UPVC material offers high tensile strength and dimensional stability, reducing the risk of cracks or deformations. Its plain fitting design minimizes flow restrictions, optimizing efficiency in fluid handling. Suitable for both above-ground and buried installations, it meets industrial requirements for chemical resistance, including exposure to mild acids and alkalis. The gray finish blends seamlessly with industrial infrastructure, while the compact size allows for easy retrofitting into existing systems.
3. Versatile Solutions for Modern Automation
As part of GF’s advanced PVC-U system, this connector supports automation in smart water management, rainwater harvesting, and process control systems. Its compatibility with GF’s bio-attributed PVC-U (reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 90%) aligns with sustainability goals. The union type design enables quick disassembly for system upgrades or repairs, enhancing operational flexibility. Available in multiple sizes and configurations, it adapts to diverse industrial needs, from small-scale tanks to large-scale processing plants. Backed by GF’s technical support and global distribution network, this product combines innovation with practicality, ensuring seamless integration into automated workflows.
