PVC Pipe Fitting Plug, Schedule 40, 1/2 NPT Male

This gray Spears plug pipe fitting is made of schedule 40 PVC with a male NPT end connection. The plug is designed to be inserted into a pipe or fitting to terminate its end. The male NPT end connection allows for fitting into a female threaded pipe, creating a tighter seal than straight threads. This standard wall fitting is constructed of PVC for 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 other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. The fitting complies with NSF/ANSI 61 Annex G, NSF/ANSI 372, and conforms 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 that took effect in January 2014.

This plug 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 for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. Consider the application when purchasing pipe fittings, as this will impact material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in an array of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
