PVC Tube Fitting 1 Barbed x NPT Male, 90 Degree Elbow

This PVC elbow fitting from the Spears 1413 series is designed for creating a 90-degree transition from rigid pipe to flexible polyethylene tubing. It features a barbed male insert on one end and male NPT threads on the other, allowing for quick connection to tubing and a tighter seal than straight threads. The gray PVC construction provides resistance to chemicals and corrosion, high strength, and a lightweight alternative to metal fittings.

The threaded end is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings, suitable for cold-water pressure distribution systems including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. It can also be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. The barbed end is compatible with SIDR-PR and schedule 40 flexible polyethylene tubing according to ASTM International standards.

With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, this fitting meets ASTM International D1784 and D2609 standards for quality assurance and is certified by NSF International for potable water service. It is ideal for connecting flexible polyethylene tubing to rigid pipe for conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in various industries.

Pipe fittings play a crucial role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Spears Manufacturing, founded in 1969 and based in Sylmar, CA, produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001 and is known for its high-quality products.
