474 Series PVC Pipe Fitting, Adapter, Schedule 40, White, 1/2Barbed x 1/2 Socket

This white Spears adapter pipe fitting is constructed with schedule 40 PVC and features a barbed insert end connection and a socket end connection. Designed to connect pipes or fittings with varying end types, diameters, or materials, it offers a barbed male insert connection for use with flexible tubing on one end and a female socket connection for sliding over male unthreaded pipe on the other end. The barbed end allows for a quick connection to tubing, while the socket end ensures a smooth bore connection for enhanced flow.

Constructed with PVC, this schedule 40 fitting offers corrosion resistance, high strength, and a lightweight alternative to metal fittings. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings and can also be connected to materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. Its smooth interior finish provides superior flow compared to metal, reducing friction and inhibiting material buildup.

This fitting complies with National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF)/American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 61 Annex G, NSF/ANSI 372, and conforms with lead content requirements for “lead free” plumbing. It is suitable for use in cold-water pressure distribution systems including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications.

When purchasing pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Spears Manufacturing, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
