Spears 474 Series PVC Pipe Fitting, Schedule 40 Adapter, 2Barbed x 2 Socket, White

This white Spears adapter pipe fitting is made of schedule 40 PVC and features both a barbed insert end connection and a socket end connection. It is designed to connect pipes or fittings with varying end types, diameters, or materials. The barbed male insert connection allows for a quick and secure fit into a flexible tube, while the female socket connection is ideal for sliding over male unthreaded pipes. The smooth bore of the socket end enhances flow, while the PVC material provides corrosion resistance, high strength, and lighter weight than metal fittings.

This schedule 40 fitting is compatible with PVC pipes and fittings, and it can also be used with transition fittings to connect to materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron. The smooth interior finish of the PVC material reduces friction and inhibits the buildup of materials, allowing for superior flow compared to metal fittings. Additionally, this adapter fitting complies with NSF/ANSI 61 Annex G, NSF/ANSI 372, and meets lead content requirements for “lead free” plumbing as defined by state laws and the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act.

Ideal for use in cold-water pressure distribution systems, including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications, this adapter pipe fitting provides versatility and reliability. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will impact material type, shape, size, and durability requirements. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, as well as various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules.
