Connection spigot PE with socket GEBERIT model 367.887.16.1

Connection spigot PE with socket GEBERIT model 367.887.16.1 is a polyethylene spigot designed to join PE pipes using a socketed mechanical connection. Manufactured by GEBERIT, this component creates a sealed joint for water and waste installations where compatibility with PE piping systems is required. The spigot and socket geometry ensure alignment and a tight fit when assembled according to standard installation practices.

Advantages

The PE spigot with socket provides a reliable sealed mechanical connection without the need for fusion welding, which simplifies repairs and on-site assembly. Its polyethylene construction offers chemical resistance and durability in typical plumbing and drainage environments. The standardized socket interface supports consistent installation quality and reduces the risk of leaks when used with compatible PE pipe and sealing elements.

Suitable for

• Repairing damaged PE water or drainage pipes
• Extending existing polyethylene piping systems
• New installations in plumbing and waste systems requiring socketed PE connections
• Situations where a mechanical sealed joint is preferred over welded connections

Key specifications

• Material: Polyethylene (PE)
• Type: Spigot with socket for socketed connections
• Application: Water supply and wastewater/drainage systems
• Connection method: Mechanical socketed joint
• Compatibility: Designed for use with compatible PE pipes and appropriate sealing elements

How to use

Prepare the PE pipe ends by cutting squarely and cleaning any debris or burrs. Insert the spigot into the socketed end or insert the pipe into the socket as specified by the manufacturer's assembly instructions, ensuring correct alignment. Use the recommended sealing elements or fittings where required to achieve a watertight joint. Verify the joint by performing a pressure or leak test in accordance with local codes and installation guidelines.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible PE pipe dimensions and approved sealing components. Avoid exposure to open flame or welding near the joint; follow GEBERIT's installation guidance and applicable plumbing standards. Inspect joints after installation and during routine maintenance to ensure continued integrity.
