PVC Pipe Fitting Coupling, 1 Socket - Spears 829 Series

The Spears 829 series schedule 80 PVC coupling is designed with socket openings on both ends, allowing for the connection of two pipes with the same diameter in the same direction to extend a straight run. The socket ends are designed to connect with pipes featuring a smooth bore, ensuring enhanced flow. Constructed of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride), the coupling offers exceptional chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and a lighter weight compared to metal fittings. It is specifically compatible with schedule 80 (thick wall) PVC pipes and fittings, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including chemical processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution, deionized water lines, chemical drainage, and wastewater treatment systems. Additionally, PVC can be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings.

With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, the 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 the schedule 80 PVC coupling appropriate for connecting pipes for conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in various industries.

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

As a leading manufacturer of thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems, Spears Manufacturing has been producing high-quality products since its founding in 1969. Headquartered in Sylmar, CA, the company is dedicated to meeting the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
