Manufacturer: VDL
The pressure fittings range comprises an extensive series of injectionmoulded PVC tube fittings for PVC pressure pipe systems as
well as PP fittings for PE pipe systems.
The pressure fittings are suitable for use in irrigation systems, drinking
water systems, sanitary equipment and swimming pool systems. The materials used have been KIWA-ATA
approved. The white VDL fittings comply with the same standards as the grey fittings but they are not suitable
for application in drinking water systems. Especially for drip irrigation systems, combined PVC/PE glue/clamp
couplings are available, with or without ball valve.

Version 4.1
Manufacturer: VDL
Revaho supplies the VDL Seed box coupling specially for drip irrigation in
mobile cultivation systems. This coupling allows for pressurised watering in
rotating systems. It ensures a reliable water supply without constantly
having to make connections by hand. If the cultivation gutters or tables are
placed in a row, the connection will be made automatically. The result is a
continuous connection between the cultivation gutters and/or tables, which allows for easy water supply by
means of an automatic coupling unit (on one end or both ends of the row). As soon as a cultivation gutter or
table is removed from the row, the connection is interrupted to allow for sideways movement of the gutter or
table.
A system of non-return valves in the seed box coupling prevents the drip hose from emptying when moved
sideways. The coupling is therefore particularly suitable if the system is frequently rotated. The seed box
coupling, which can be mounted above or under the cultivation gutter, is fitted with a male and a female
coupling piece and a coupling tube. The coupling tube can be ordered to size, depending on the width of the
cultivation gutter or table.
The drip hose can be connected to either the male or the female piece (or both), which are suitable for PVCPE (knee) joints of 25 mm (inside) or 20 mm (outside) and for 8 mm PE hose.
The seed box coupling is only suitable for use with the Chameleon dripper. For mobile systems in particular,
the coupling is available in cultivation gutter widths (multiple widths on a coil with coupling unit), with extra
short micro tube (from 15 cm) or with Rapier or Prevo pin.

Eco coupling
Version 4.1
Manufacturer: VDL
Just like the seed box coupling, the Eco coupling is used for drip irrigation in
mobile cultivation systems. The main difference however is that the Eco
coupling does not have non-return valves, but rather an open 50 mm
continuous joint, which makes the Eco coupling ideally suitable for mobile
systems which are rarely rotated. The Eco coupling allows for pressurised watering in rotating systems. It
ensures a reliable water supply without constantly having to make connections by hand. If the cultivation
gutters or tables are placed in a row, the connection will be made automatically. The result is a continuous
connection between the cultivation gutters and/or tables, which allows for easy water supply by means of an
automatic coupling unit (on one end or both ends of the row). As soon as a cultivation gutter or table is
removed from the row, the connection is interrupted to allow for sideways movement of the gutter or table.
The Eco coupling, which can be mounted above or under the cultivation gutter, is fitted with a male and a
female coupling piece and a coupling sleeve. The coupling tube can be ordered to size, depending on the
width of the cultivation gutter or table.
The drip hose can be connected to either the male or the female piece (or both), which are suitable for PVCPE (knee) joints of 25 mm (inside) or 20 mm (outside) and for 8 mm PE hose.
The seed box coupling is suitable for application with the Woodpecker or Chameleon dripper, depending on the
required total flow rate in the row. Especially for mobile systems, the coupling is available in cultivation gutter
widths (multiples on a coil with coupling unit), with extra short micro tube (from 15 cm) or with Rapier or Prevo pin.

The seed box couplings are fixed to the cultivation system by tube clamps. To prevent the coupling from
rotating during use, it can be fitted with a cam which fits inside the tube clamp.

Version 4.1
PVC pressure tubes with gasket joints are used if glued joints are not
possible (low temperature, damp conditions) or undesirable (large
diameters).
As the gasket joints are flexible, elongation and longitudinal contraction can
be absorbed. Pressure tubes with a gasket joint are for underground use
only. Clean both the gasket and the tube end prior to assembly and smear the gasket with a lubricant. Avoid
direct pressure on the tube due to bumping. Use a piece of wood for protection. Tubes may not be mounted by
means of great mechanical force (of a crane or shovel). Make sure that the tube is adequately fastened in
bends, branches, pits and suchlike in order to avoid it becoming detached.
Pressure tubes with gasket joints may only be pressurised once the piping has been completely enclosed.

Rainwater pipes with glued joints are used for (virtually) pressureless
applications if the joints must be resistant to tensile strain. The pipes come
with a moulded glue socket or smooth ends. The pipes are manufactured
using a coextrusion process, with new PVC inner and outer layers and a
recycled PVC (foam) intermediate layer. The pipes comply fully with the
applicable standards for solid pipes of the same class, but have the advantage that they are lighter in weight
which facilitates installation.
Rainwater pipes are available in 3 pressure classes: class 51 for use above ground and classes 34 and 41 for
underground use (for normal and light traffic loads, respectively). Rainwater pipes are particularly used for
rainwater discharge (above ground and underground). For greenhouse discharge, special fitted lengths are
available in sizes 125-200 mm.

Rainwater pipes with a gasket joint are used for (virtually) pressureless
applications if glued joints are not possible because of too large a diameter
or due to low temperatures and humid conditions. The pipes are
manufactured using a coextrusion process, with new PVC inner and outer
layers and a recycled PVC (foam) intermediate layer. The pipes comply fully
with the applicable standards for solid pipes of the same class, but have the advantage that they are lighter in
weight which facilitates installation.
As the gasket joints are flexible, elongation and longitudinal contraction can be absorbed. Rainwater pipes with
a gasket joint can be used underground or above ground in rainwater discharge or CO2 systems, for example.
Rainwater pipes are available in 3 pressure classes: class 51 for use above ground and classes 34 and 41 for
underground use (for normal and light traffic loads, respectively). Clean both the gasket and the pipe end prior
to assembly and smear the gasket with a lubricant. Avoid direct pressure on the pipe due to bumping for
example. Use a piece of wood for protection. Pipes may not be installed by means of great mechanical force
(of a crane or shovel). Make sure that the pipe is adequately fastened in bends, branches and pits in order to
avoid it becoming detached.

PVC glues are inflammable solvent based. Ensure adequate ventilation while working.
Product info and safety sheets are available on request.
Avoid an excess of glue or solvent on the tube or appendage. Excesses can be extremely harmful (also in the
long term).
The open time decreases significantly at temperatures above 23C (up to 2 min. at 30C and 1 min. at 40C).
After glueing, mechanical stress may not be applied to the joint in the first 5 minutes (15 minutes below 10C).
Do not subject to pressure tests within 24 hours.
Tangit 95C is recommended for glueing PVC-C.
Dytex, a special adhesive, is available for highly concentrated acids.
Below 5C, special measures must be taken for glueing (heat tube ends to 25-30C, retain this temp. for approx. 10 min. after glueing and then blow pipes through).
Ensure adequate safety measures while working. Safety sheets are available on request.
