The other end of the fitting is equipped with a female NPT connector for connecting to threaded pipe.

PVC is known for its corrosion resistance and high strength, as well as its ability to resist reactions with acids, gasoline, alcohol, and hydrocarbons. This particular fitting not only meets the ASTM D 2609 standards for plastic insert fittings for PE pipe, but also complies with the ASTM schedule 40 standards for wall thickness, supporting a working pressure of up to 140 psi. In addition, it is certified by NSF International for use with potable water.

Pipe fittings are essential components used for connecting, terminating, and controlling the flow of piping in various 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 of the fitting. Pipe fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, and come in a variety of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
