Spears 438-UV Series PVC Pipe Fitting, UltraViolet Resistant, Bushing, Schedule 40, Spigot x NPT Female

This Spears 438-UV series UV-resistant schedule 40 PVC bushing fitting has a spigot connection on one end and female NPT threads on the other, and is suitable for connecting two pipes with different ends in applications where the fitting is exposed to sunlight. The National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tighter seal than straight threads, and the spigot end has the same diameter as the pipe it connects to, minimizing turbulence and creating a tight seal. This bushing fitting is made of UV-resistant PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and no more weight than fittings made from metal. It may be used in applications where it is exposed to sunlight, which can degrade the have an effect on strength of unprotected PVC. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings and is suitable for cold-water pressure distribution systems including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. PVC can also be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron the usage of transition fittings. The fitting has a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, meets ASTM International D1784 and D2466 standards for quality assurance, and is certified by National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. This UV-resistant schedule 40 PVC bushing fitting is suitable for connecting pipes for conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in a range of industries.

Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling go with the flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, imagine the application, as this will have an effect on material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are to be had threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
