PVC Tube Fitting Adapter 1 Barbed x NPT Female

The Spears 1435 series tube fitting is a PVC plastic adapter that is designed to connect schedule 40 polyethylene (PE) pipe to threaded pipe that conforms to the National Pipe Thread (NPT) standard. This fitting is constructed with gray PVC plastic and features a barbed fitting on one end to create a secure seal with flexible PE pipe when used with a hose clamp (which is sold separately). On the other end, it has a female NPT connector to connect to threaded pipe.

PVC is known for its corrosion resistance and high strength, making it a durable choice for pipe fittings. It is resistant to reactions with acids, gasoline, alcohol, and hydrocarbons. Additionally, the PVC fitting meets ASTM International's D 2609 standards for plastic insert fittings to be used with PE pipe, as well as ASTM schedule 40 standards for wall thickness to support a working pressure of up to 140 psi. It has also been certified by NSF International for use with potable water.

Pipe fittings are integral components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the specific application, as this will determine the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings come in threaded or unthreaded options, and are available in a wide range of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
