PVC Tube Fitting Adapter, Schedule 40, 2 Barbed x NPT Male

The Spears 1436 series tube fitting is constructed of gray polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and features a male National Pipe Thread (NPT) thread on one end and a barbed insert on the other end for direct connection to ASTM International schedule 40 polyethylene (PE) pipe in a straight run. This adapter's barbed fitting ensures a secure seal on flexible PE pipe when paired with a hose clamp (available separately). The PVC fitting's maximum working pressure is reliant on the PE pipe it is utilized with, and it has a maximum working temperature of 140 degrees F. Additionally, it is resistant to reactions with acids, gasoline, alcohol, and hydrocarbons. This male barb tube fitting meets ASTM D2609 standards for plastic insert fittings for use with PE pipe, ASTM schedule 40 standards for wall thickness, and is NSF International 61 certified for use with potable water.

Pipe fittings are vital components for the connection, termination, flow control, and direction change of piping across various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it's important to consider the application, as this will impact the material type, shape, size, and necessary durability. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
