Watts 718000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe size does the Watts 718000 Rionfuse coupling fit?
The 718000 coupling is built for 1-1/2 inch Blueline FRPP pipe, with a 0.20 inch wall thickness. It joins two lengths of the same 1-1/2 inch pipe in line, so both ends need to be that size and that same Blueline FRPP system.
2) Is the Watts 718000 coupling a solvent weld or threaded fitting?
Neither. It is a Rionfuse connection, an electrofusion joint, so it is not glued and not threaded. You need the matching fusion equipment to make the joint up. If your run is solvent cemented PVC or threaded metal, this coupling won't work on it.
3) What is the Watts 718000 coupling made of, and what kind of system is it used on?
The body is FRPP, fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene, which is what Watts Blueline compressed air piping uses. It is a plastic pressure-pipe fitting, not a metal valve body, so it suits FRPP Blueline air distribution rather than being mixed into copper or steel runs.
4) Can I use the 718000 to join Blueline pipe of a different diameter?
No. The 718000 is a straight coupling sized for 1-1/2 inch pipe only, both ends the same. To change size you need a Blueline reducing fitting in the sizes you're going between, not this coupling.
5) Does the 718000 coupling come with anything else needed to make the joint?
It is the coupling itself. Making up a Rionfuse electrofusion joint also takes the fusion control unit and leads, plus pipe prep tooling, which are separate items from the fitting.
