What is a Pipe Extension Fitting used for?
A pipe extension fitting, often referred to in the trade as a socket shifter, is an essential hardware component used to correct alignment errors or reach awkward termination points. It is specifically designed to provide that extra few inches of length needed when a standard pipe run doesn’t quite reach its intended socket or junction.
Advanced Push-Fit Technology
At ECO HEAT SHOP, we prioritize ease of installation without compromising on safety. This fitting utilizes a high-performance push-fit mechanism with an internal EPDM rubber seal. This ensures a permanent, flexible, and leak-proof connection that can handle the thermal expansion and contraction common in UK drainage systems. Unlike solvent weld alternatives, this fitting allows for minor adjustments during the installation process.
Durability for Above and Below Ground
Manufactured from high-impact PVC-U, our extension fittings are built to last. The material is UV-stabilized to prevent brittleness when used in external soil stacks and is robust enough to withstand the soil pressure of underground sewer runs. Its smooth internal bore is designed to maintain maximum hydraulic flow, preventing the buildup of debris that can lead to clogs.
