PVC Tube Fitting Coupling, 1 Barbed

The Spears 1429 series tube fitting, made of gray polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic, is designed to connect schedule 40 polyethylene (PE) pipe in a straight run. This coupler is equipped with barbed fittings on each end, which creates a tight seal on flexible PE pipe when used with a hose clamp (sold separately). PVC is known for its corrosion resistance and high strength, making it resistant to reactions with acids, gasoline, alcohol, and hydrocarbons. The fitting meets ASTM International's D 2609 standards for plastic insert fittings for use with PE pipe, as well as ASTM schedule 40 standards for wall thickness that support working pressure up to 140 psi. Additionally, it is certified by NSF International for use with potable water.

Pipe fittings are vital components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it's important to consider the application as it will determine the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings come in a variety of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness), and are available threaded or unthreaded. 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.
