PVC Pipe Fitting Adapter, Schedule 40, Black, 3/4 Socket x 3/4 NPT Female

This black Spears adapter pipe fitting is made of schedule 40 PVC and features a socket end connection as well as a female NPT end connection. Designed for connecting pipes or fittings with different end types, it has a female socket connection on one end for sliding over a male unthreaded pipe and female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on the other for connecting to a male threaded pipe. The socket end is ideal for connecting to pipes with a smooth bore to enhance flow, while the NPT threads create a tighter seal than straight threads.

Constructed from PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this schedule 40 (standard wall) fitting offers corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter than metal fittings. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings, and can also be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. The smooth interior finish of the PVC provides superior flow compared to metal, reducing friction and inhibiting material buildup.

This adapter fitting complies with the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF)/American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 61 Annex G, NSF/ANSI 372, and meets the lead content requirements for “lead free” plumbing as defined by California, Vermont, Maryland, and Louisiana state laws, as well as the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act.

Suitable for use in cold-water pressure distribution systems including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications, this adapter pipe fitting offers superior flow performance due to its smooth interior finish.

Pipe fittings are essential components for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping across various industries. Factors to consider when purchasing pipe fittings include the application, material type, shape, size, and durability requirements. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in various 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.
