PVC Pipe Fitting Adapter, Schedule 40, 2 NPT Male x 2 Spigot

This Spears adapter pipe fitting is made of schedule 40 PVC and features a male NPT end connection and a spigot end connection. It is designed to connect pipes or fittings with varying end types. One end is equipped with male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads for joining to female threaded pipe, while the other end has a male spigot connection for fitting into a female unthreaded pipe. The NPT threads provide a tighter seal compared to straight threads, and the spigot end matches the pipe diameter, reducing turbulence and creating a secure seal. Made of PVC, this schedule 40 fitting offers corrosion resistance, high strength, and a lighter weight alternative to metal fittings. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings and can also be used with transition fittings to connect to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron. Its smooth interior finish delivers superior flow and minimizes friction and material buildup. This fitting complies with NSF/ANSI 61 Annex G, NSF/ANSI 372, and meets lead content requirements for "lead free" plumbing in accordance with state laws and the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act. It is suitable for cold-water pressure distribution systems, including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications.

Pipe fittings are crucial components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping across various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is essential to consider the application, as this influences the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings come in threaded or unthreaded options, in a variety of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
