PVC Tube Fitting Adapter, Schedule 40, 1-1/4 Barbed x NPT Male

The Spears 1436 series tube fitting is constructed of gray polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and features a male National Pipe Thread (NPT) thread on one end, as well as a barbed insert on the other end for direct connection to ASTM International schedule 40 polyethylene (PE) pipe in a straight run. When used with a hose clamp (available for purchase separately), the barbed fitting on the adapter creates a secure seal on flexible PE pipe. This PVC fitting has a maximum working pressure that is dependent on the type of PE pipe it is used with, as well as a maximum working temperature of 140 degrees F. Additionally, it is resistant to reactions with acids, gasoline, alcohol, and hydrocarbons. This male barb tube fitting meets ASTM D2609 standards for plastic insert fittings for use with PE pipe, adheres to ASTM schedule 40 standards for wall thickness, and is NSF International 61 certified for use with potable water.

Pipe fittings are essential components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and altering the direction of piping in a wide range of industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is crucial to consider the specific application, as this will have an impact on material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded variations, and come in a multitude of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
