PVC Tube Fitting Plug, 2 Barbed

The Spears 1449 series tube fitting is constructed from durable gray polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and is designed to connect to the open end of schedule 40 polyethelene (PE) pipe. This plug features a barbed fitting that effectively seals the end of flexible PE pipe when used with a hose clamp (available for purchase separately). PVC is known for its corrosion resistance and high strength, as well as its ability to resist reactions with acids, gasoline, alcohol, and hydrocarbons. The fitting is compliant with the D 2609 standards established by ASTM International for plastic insert fittings used with PE pipe, in addition to meeting the ASTM schedule 40 standards for wall thickness to support a working pressure of up to 140 psi. It is also NSF International certified for use with potable water.

Pipe fittings are critical components used 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 impact the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded variations, and come in numerous shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Spears Manufacturing specializes in producing thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. Established in 1969 and based in Sylmar, CA, the company is compliant with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.

In summary, the Spears 1449 series tube fitting is a reliable plug designed to close the end of a pipe. It connects to schedule 40 PE pipe and is constructed from PVC for strength and resistance to reactions with acids, gasoline, alcohol, and hydrocarbons. The barbed fitting ensures a tight seal on flexible pipe when used with a hose clamp, and it meets ASTM D 2609 standards for plastic insert fittings. Additionally, it is certified by NSF for use with potable water.
