Reed Mfg PPJ Plastic Pipe Joiner, Gasketed or Solvent Weld Connections

With 28-to-1 leverage, it is easy for one person to join or separate PVC pipe up to 16” gasketed or up to 12” solvent cement joints, using the REED Plastic Pipe Joiner. Saddles are needed with both types of connections – solvent and gasketed. However, there are two types of saddles used, depending on the type of connection.

FOR GASKETED PIPE: The Plastic Pipe Joiner can connect and separate 4” - 16” IPS and cast iron size gasketed pipe. Components required for joining gasketed pipe include the Plastic Pipe Joiner (PPJ) and V-shaped saddles (PPJVS).  Gasketed pipe is found in underground work like irrigation systems and utility work, among other places.

FOR SOLVENT CEMENT CONNECTIONS: The Plastic Pipe Joiner connects solvent cement joints on all pipe schedules, IPS, and water pipe from 4” - 12”. For solvent cement connections, individually sized saddles must be ordered together with the Plastic Pipe Joiner (PPJ) and the plastic pipe joiner fitting attachment (PPJFA). PPJFA is only used for branch attachments.  Solvent cement joining occurs at places such as processing plants, water treatment facilities and industrial locations, among other applications.

NOTE: Connection saddles for gasketed pipe (PPJVS) or solvent cement connections (Plastic Pipe Joiners – Saddles) must be purchased separately.

• Controlled feed by user prevents over-insertion.
• Easily join or separate gasketed 4”-16” (114 – 434 mm) PVC pipe using the PPJ and PPJVS universal saddles.
• Efficiently connect 4” – 12” (114 - 324 mm) PVC solvent cement joints using the PPJ and individually sized saddles.
• PPJFA Fitting Attachment is required for solvent cement branch connections only.
