PVC Tube Fitting Coupling, Schedule 40, Gray, 1-1/4 x 1 Barbed

The Spears 1429 series tube fitting is a gray polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic coupler that connects schedule 40 polyethelene (PE) pipe in a straight run. It has barbed fittings on each end to create a tight seal on flexible PE pipe when used with a hose clamp (sold separately). PVC is known for its corrosion resistance and high strength, and it resists reactions with acids, gasoline, alcohol, and hydrocarbons. This fitting meets the D 2609 standards set by ASTM International for plastic insert fittings for use with PE pipe, as well as ASTM schedule 40 standards for wall thickness to support working pressure up to 140 psi. It is also certified by NSF International for use with potable water.

Pipe fittings play an important role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consideration should be given to the application, as this will impact the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings come in threaded or unthreaded options, as well as a wide range of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Spears Manufacturing, founded in 1969 and based in Sylmar, CA, produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company meets the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.

In summary, the Spears 1429 series tube fitting is designed to connect pipe in a straight run and specifically connects to schedule 40 PE pipe on both ends. Made of PVC, it offers strength and resistance to reactions with acids, gasoline, alcohol, and hydrocarbons, and the barbed fitting creates a tight seal on flexible pipe when used with a hose clamp (sold separately). Additionally, it meets ASTM D 2609 standards for plastic insert fittings and is certified by NSF for use with potable water.
