PVC Tube Fitting Coupling, Schedule 40, Gray, 3/4 x 1/2 Barbed Spears 1429 Series

The Spears 1429 series tube fitting is constructed of high-strength gray polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and is designed to connect schedule 40 polyethylene (PE) pipe in a straight run. With barbed fittings on each end, this coupler ensures a tight seal on flexible PE pipe when used in conjunction with a hose clamp (sold separately). PVC is known for its corrosion resistance and durability, as it resists reactions with acids, gasoline, alcohol, and hydrocarbons. This fitting meets the standards set by ASTM International for plastic insert fittings for use with PE pipe (ASTM D 2609) and also complies with ASTM schedule 40 standards for wall thickness, supporting a working pressure of up to 140 psi. Furthermore, it is certified by NSF International for use with potable water.

Pipe fittings are essential components for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in a wide range of industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the specific application, as this will determine the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings come in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness), and can be purchased threaded or unthreaded to suit different needs.
