830 Series PVC Pipe Fitting Coupling, Schedule 80, 1/2 NPT Female

The Spears 830 series schedule 80 PVC coupling is designed with female NPT threads on both ends and is suitable for connecting two pipes of the same diameter in the same direction to extend a straight run. This coupling is made of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride), providing chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and a lightweight alternative to metal fittings. It is compatible with schedule 80 (thick wall) PVC pipes and fittings and can be used in various applications such as chemical processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution, deionized water lines, and chemical drainage and wastewater treatment systems. Additionally, PVC can be connected to other materials like steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings.

With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, this PVC coupling meets ASTM International D1784 and D2467 standards for quality assurance and is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. This makes it suitable for connecting pipes that convey drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids across a range of industries. Pipe fittings play a crucial role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application as this will impact material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, with many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness) to choose from.
