Solvent Socket vs. NPT: The solvent socket inlet offers several advantages over NPT:
- Stronger joint: Creates a uniform, leak-free seal when properly bonded
- Easier installation: No need for pipe tape or thread sealants
- Reduced risk of over-tightening: Eliminates potential for cracking due to excessive torque
- Smooth internal surface: Minimizes turbulence and potential for debris accumulation
Choose solvent socket for permanent installations in PVC piping systems where a robust, leak-free connection is crucial. Opt for NPT if you require more flexibility for future modifications or when connecting to existing threaded systems.
