The Plimat WHTMAI0250 is a white ABS socket engineered for use in aspirating smoke detection systems. This essential connector joins two 25mm pipe sections, forming secure, airtight joints when bonded with ABS solvent cement. It plays a key role in constructing reliable and efficient air sampling pipe networks.
Manufactured from premium-grade Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), the socket is specifically designed for VESDA and other aspirating smoke detection (ASD) systems. Its clean white finish offers a discreet alternative to traditional red pipework, making it ideal for installations where appearance matters, without compromising on strength or performance. The robust ABS material delivers excellent durability, impact resistance and chemical stability across a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 70°C.
Intended for professional installation, the socket features plain ends for straightforward solvent-weld jointing, producing connections that are often stronger than the pipe itself. Manufactured under BS EN ISO 9001 certified quality systems, it is fully tested and approved to EN 54-20 and EN 61386-1, ensuring compliance with UK and European fire safety standards. The white finish makes this fitting particularly suitable for offices, retail spaces, museums and other high-profile environments where visible red pipework may be undesirable. It provides a simple and cost-effective solution for joining 25mm pipe while preserving the integrity of the air sampling system.
