PVC Pipe Fitting Adapter, Schedule 40, White, 1Barbed x 1 Socket

This white Spears adapter pipe fitting is made of schedule 40 PVC and features a barbed insert end connection and a socket end connection. It is designed to connect pipes or fittings with varying end types, diameters, or materials. The barbed male insert connection allows for fitting into a flexible tube on one end, while the female socket connection is used for sliding over male unthreaded pipe on the other end. The barbed end facilitates a quick connection to tubing, while the socket end connects to pipes with a smooth bore for improved flow.

Made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), 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. With its smooth interior finish, this fitting provides superior flow compared to metal, reducing friction and inhibiting material buildup.

This adapter pipe fitting complies with NSF/ANSI 61 Annex G, NSF/ANSI 372, and meets lead content requirements for “lead-free” plumbing as defined by California, Vermont, Maryland, and Louisiana state laws, as well as the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act. It is suitable for use in cold-water pressure distribution systems, including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications.

When purchasing pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will impact the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in a variety of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
