The Spears 1436 series tube fitting, made of gray polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic, features a male National Pipe Thread (NPT) on one end and a barbed insert on the other end for connecting to ASTM International schedule 40 polyethylene (PE) pipe in a straight run. The barbed fitting on the adapter creates a secure seal on flexible PE pipe when used with a hose clamp that is sold separately. The PVC fitting has a maximum working pressure, dependent on the PE pipe it is used with, and can withstand a maximum working temperature of 140 degrees F. It also resists 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 and ASTM schedule 40 standards for wall thickness. Additionally, it is NSF International 61 certified for use with potable water.
