PVC Pipe Fitting Adapter, 1/2 NPT Male x 3/4 NPT Female

The Spears 446-B series schedule 40 PVC adapter is designed with male NPT threads on one end and female NPT threads on the other, making it suitable for connecting two pipes with different ends. The National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tighter seal than straight threads. This adapter fitting is made of black PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than fittings made from metal. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings and can be used in cold-water pressure distribution systems, including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. Transition fittings can be used to connect PVC to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron.

The schedule 40 PVC adapter has a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F and meets ASTM International D1784 and D2466 standards for quality assurance. It is also certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. This makes the adapter suitable for connecting pipes used for conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in 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 purchasing pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, which 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 the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.

In summary, the Spears schedule 40 PVC adapter with male and female NPT threads is an ideal choice for connecting pipes or fittings of different types. It offers high chemical and corrosion resistance, is lightweight, and suitable for use in various applications. With its quality assurance and certification for potable water service, it is a reliable option for industries seeking durable and efficient pipe fittings.
