PVC hose coupling is a fitting, usually a short, cylindrical piece of PVC, designed to join two PVC pipes or a hose end to a pipe fitting, appliance, or another hose. Its purpose is to create a continuous, connected system by physically linking the individual components, often with solvent cement for a permanent bond. Couplings allow for the expansion of a system, repair of broken pipes, or adaptation to different pipe sizes, providing a reliable and efficient connection in various plumbing, irrigation, and industrial applications.
