This schedule 40 (standard wall) fitting is made of PVC\n(polyvinyl chloride) for corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight\nthan fittings made from metal. PVC can be connected to other materials such as\nsteel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. This adapter fitting\nconnects pipes or fittings running in the same direction using a female\nNational Pipe Taper (NPT) connection and a spigot connection. The female NPT\nend connects to male NPT threaded connections for a tighter seal than straight\nthreads, and the spigot end fits into the end of a female unthreaded pipe. The\nfitting has an operating temperature range of 73 to 140 degrees F (23 to 60C).\nThis adapter fitting meets American Society for Testing and Materials\nInternational (ASTM) D2466 and ASTM D2609 for quality assurance, National\nSanitation Foundation International (NSF)\/American National Standards\nInstitute (ANSI) Standard 61, Annex G for potable water, and conforms with\nlead content requirements for \"lead free\" plumbing as defined by California\nand Vermont. It is suitable for waste water systems in residential\napplications.Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating,\ncontrolling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different\nindustries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this\nwill affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are\navailable threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules\n(pipe wall thickness). Spears Manufacturing produces thermoplastic fittings\nand valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company, founded in\n1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, meets International Organization for\nStandardization (ISO) standard 9001.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eAdapter for connecting pipes or fittings of different types\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eFemale NPT threads for connecting to male threaded pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003ePVC for corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than fittings made from metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of 73 to 140 degrees F (23 to 60 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eMeets ASTM D2466 for quality assurance and NSF\/ANSI Standard 61, Annex G for potable water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Spears Manufacturing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41509476204724,"sku":"B008I4DBGU","price":178.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/9906\/1172\/products\/B008I4DBGU.jpg?v=1653029948","url":"https:\/\/auspowers.com\/products\/spears-478-series-pvc-pipe-fitting-adapter-schedule-40-3-npt-female-3-inch-1","provider":"AusPower Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
