Unidelta straight equal-through PE pipe connector 40 x 40 mm (model 601040)

The Unidelta straight equal-through PE pipe connector 40 x 40 mm is a mechanical inline coupling designed to join two polyethylene (PE) pipes of the same 40 mm nominal diameter. Intended for low-pressure fluid distribution, this connector provides a straight continuation of the pipeline with compatible PE piping systems used in potable water, irrigation and drainage networks. The connector's geometry ensures alignment and a continuous bore for straightforward flow and minimal disruption at the joint.

Advantages

This PE pipe connector offers a simple and reliable method of joining two like-diameter PE pipes while maintaining flow continuity. Its design reduces installation time compared with welded or fused joints, and it is suitable for situations where a mechanical inline joint is required. The connector is compatible with common PE pipe materials and supports potable water and irrigation applications when installed according to local regulations.

Suitable for

• Joining two 40 mm polyethylene pipes in a straight line
• Low-pressure potable water distribution
• Irrigation systems for gardens, lawns and agriculture
• Drainage and general fluid conveyance where mechanical joints are acceptable

Key specifications

• Connector type: straight equal-through mechanical coupling
• Material compatibility: polyethylene (PE) pipes
• Nominal pipe diameter: 40 mm
• Application pressure range: suitable for low-pressure distribution systems (follow system design limits)
• Flow path: continuous straight bore to minimise flow disturbance
• Typical environments: potable water, irrigation, drainage

How to use

Prepare both PE pipe ends by cutting squarely and removing burrs or debris. Ensure pipe ends are clean and dry before insertion. Slide each pipe end into the connector until it reaches the internal stop or specified insertion depth. Verify alignment and secure the joint according to the connector's mechanical fastening method and any manufacturer instructions or local standards. After installation, test the system at appropriate pressure to confirm a leak-free connection.

Usage recommendations

Use this connector only with compatible 40 mm PE pipes and within the pressure and temperature limits of the piping system. Follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidance for potable water installations, and perform pressure testing after installation. Avoid exposing the joint to excessive mechanical stress or bending loads that could compromise sealing performance.
