Description
A 2" solvent-weld hub. The hub bonds into the plumbing run with solvent cement to give a clean, permanent, leak-tight transition on a water treatment system.
Key details
- 2" size
- Solvent-weld (cemented) connection, not threaded
- Permanent, leak-tight joint when cemented correctly
- Use the correct primer and solvent cement for the pipe material
Where it fits
Used on larger tank and control-valve plumbing where a 2" solvent connection is called for. Check your existing pipe size before ordering - see also the 1-1/2" version.
Nelsen Hub, 2" Solvent. Manufacturer: Nelsen Corp. Part #: D1076.
Nelsen 2-Inch Solvent Hub
This Nelsen hub is a 2-inch solvent-weld plumbing fitting used to build permanent, sealed connections in larger-diameter water treatment plumbing. A solvent-weld hub accepts pipe that is bonded in place with the appropriate cement, chemically fusing the two into a single leak-resistant joint. It is a foundational fitting for the inlet, outlet, and manifold plumbing on bigger tanks and commercial-scale systems where a 2-inch line is called for.
Where It Fits In
Larger treatment systems move more water, and the plumbing that serves them steps up in size accordingly. Solvent-weld connections are favored here because, once cured, they create a rigid, durable bond well suited to fixed installations that are not meant to be taken apart routinely. This hub is the kind of part you reach for when assembling or repairing the hard-plumbed sections around a large filter or softener tank.
Installation Notes
Making a sound solvent joint means cutting and deburring the pipe cleanly, dry-fitting to check alignment, and applying the correct primer and cement per standard practice before joining. Once the joint sets, it is permanent, so it is worth confirming your layout and dry-fitting the whole run before you bond anything. Matching the fitting size to your pipe is essential for a proper fit, and taking a few extra minutes at the planning stage avoids having to cut out a bonded joint later.
