PVC Pipe Fitting Coupling, 1/2 NPT Female

This gray Spears coupling pipe fitting is made of schedule 40 PVC and features female NPT connections. It is designed to connect two pipes with the same diameter, extending a straight run in the same direction. With female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads, this fitting provides a tighter seal when connected to male threaded pipes, offering corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than 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.

Featuring a smooth interior finish, this fitting promotes superior flow compared to metal fittings, reducing friction and inhibiting buildup of materials. It adheres to National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF)/American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 61 Annex G, NSF/ANSI 372, and complies with 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.

This coupling pipe fitting is suitable for use in cold-water pressure distribution systems, including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. Pipe fittings are essential components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping across various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will impact material type, shape, size, and required durability. They 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.

In summary, the Spears coupling pipe fitting offers:

• Coupling for connecting two pipes with the same diameter in a straight run
• Female NPT threads for connecting to male threaded pipes
• PVC for corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than fittings made from metal
• Smooth interior finish for reduced friction and material buildup
• Meets NSF/ANSI 61 Annex G, NSF/ANSI 372 for quality assurance.
