Spears 460-N Series PVC Nesting Adapter, 1 x 1-1/4 x 1

The Spears nesting adapter pipe fitting, made of schedule 40 PVC, features a barbed spigot end connection and a socket end connection. This adapter fitting is designed to connect pipes or fittings with different end types. One end of the adapter has a barbed male spigot connection for flexible tubing, while the other end has a female socket connection for sliding over the end of a male pipe. The spigot end has the same diameter as the pipe it connects to, minimizing turbulence and creating a tight seal. The socket end connects to a pipe with a smooth bore for enhanced flow.

This schedule 40 PVC fitting is corrosion resistant, high strength, and lighter in weight than metal fittings. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings, and can also be connected to materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. The smooth interior finish of the PVC provides superior flow compared to metal, reducing friction and inhibiting material buildup. Additionally, this fitting complies with NSF/ANSI 61 Annex G, NSF/ANSI 372, and conforms with lead content requirements for “lead free” plumbing as defined by state laws and the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act.

Suitable for use in cold-water pressure distribution systems, including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications, this nesting adapter pipe fitting is a versatile and reliable option. Pipe fittings are essential components for connecting, terminating, and controlling flow in various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application and the required material type, shape, size, and durability.
