PVC Tube Fitting Coupling, Schedule 40, Gray 1-1/2 Barbed

The Spears 1429 series tube fitting is constructed with gray polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and is designed to connect schedule 40 polyethylene (PE) pipe in a straight run. This coupler features barbed fittings on each end to effectively seal flexible PE pipe when used in conjunction with a hose clamp (available for separate purchase). 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, supporting a working pressure of up to 140 psi. Additionally, it is certified by NSF International for use with potable water.

Pipe fittings are crucial components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and altering the direction of piping across various industries. It is important to consider the application when purchasing pipe fittings, as this will impact the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, in an array of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
