Spears 88 Series 2 NPT Male PVC Pipe Fitting, Schedule 80

This schedule 80 PVC nipple fitting from Spears has male NPT threads on both ends, making it suitable for connecting pipes with the same diameter. The National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tighter seal than straight threads. The gray PVC material provides chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than metal fittings. This fitting is compatible with schedule 80 PVC pipes and fittings, and is suitable for applications such as chemical processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution, deionized water lines, and chemical drainage and wastewater treatment systems.

The fitting can also be connected to other materials like steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, it meets ASTM International D1784 and D2467 standards for quality assurance and is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. This schedule 80 PVC nipple fitting is suitable for connecting pipes in industries that convey drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids.

Pipe fittings are crucial components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it's important to consider the application, as this will impact the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

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

In summary, this nipple fitting is designed for connecting two threaded pipes with male NPT threads on both ends, making it ideal for pipes with female NPT threaded ends. The PVC material provides chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than metal fittings. It also meets strict quality standards and is certified for potable water service by NSF International.
