PVC Tube Fitting Adapter 1/2 Barbed x NPT Female

The Spears 1435 series tube fitting is composed of gray polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and is designed to connect schedule 40 polyethelene (PE) pipe to threaded pipe that complies with the National Pipe Thread (NPT) standard. This adapter features a barbed fitting on one end, which effectively forms a secure seal on flexible PE pipe when combined with a hose clamp (available for separate purchase). On the opposite end, there is a female NPT connector that links to threaded pipe. PVC is known for its corrosion resistance and high strength. It is capable of withstanding reactions with acids, gasoline, alcohol, and hydrocarbons. This fitting satisfies the D 2609 standards established by ASTM International for plastic insert fittings for use with PE pipe, as well as the ASTM schedule 40 standards for wall thickness, supporting working pressures up to 140 psi. Additionally, it has been certified by NSF International for use with potable water. Pipe fittings are integral components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and altering the direction of piping in various industries. When procuring pipe fittings, it's essential to consider the application, as this will impact material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options and come in different shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (referring to pipe wall thickness).
