PVC Pipe Fitting Adapter, 1 NPT Male x 3/4 Spigot

This Spears adapter pipe fitting is made of schedule 40 PVC and features a male NPT end connection as well as a spigot end connection. It is designed to connect pipes or fittings with different end types, with male NPT threads on one end for connection to female threaded pipes and a male spigot connection for fitting into female unthreaded pipes on the other end. The NPT threads ensure a tight seal, while the spigot end matches the diameter of the pipe it connects to, minimizing turbulence and creating a secure seal.

Made of PVC, this schedule 40 fitting offers corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter 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. Its smooth interior finish provides superior flow compared to metal fittings, reducing friction and inhibiting material buildup.

In terms of compliance, this fitting meets the standards of NSF/ANSI 61 Annex G, NSF/ANSI 372, as well as lead content requirements for "lead free" plumbing set by California, Vermont, Maryland, and Louisiana state laws, and the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act. This adapter pipe fitting is suitable for use in cold-water pressure distribution systems, including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications.

Pipe fittings are crucial components for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it's important to consider the application, as this will determine the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings come in threaded or unthreaded options, in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules.
