The socket ends connect to pipes\nwith a smooth bore for enhanced flow. The fitting has three pieces and\nincludes a threaded connection that can be screwed or unscrewed to connect or\ndisconnect pipes more easily than with couplings. It is made of white PVC\n(polyvinyl chloride) for chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and\nless weight than fittings made from metal, and has an EPDM (ethylene propylene\ndiene monomer) seal for resistance to oil, water, and some solvents. It is\ncompatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings and is suitable for cold-\nwater pressure distribution systems including irrigation, pool and spa,\npotable water, and chilled water applications. PVC can be connected to other\nmaterials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. The\nfitting has a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, and a maximum\npressure rating of 150 pounds per square inch (psi) at 73 degrees F. It meets\nASTM International D1784 and D2466 standards for quality assurance, and is\ncertified by National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable\nwater service. This schedule 40 PVC union fitting is suitable for connecting\npipes for conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids\nin a range of industries.Pipe fittings are components used for connecting,\nterminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many\ndifferent industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application,\nas this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability.\nFittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes,\nand schedules (pipe wall thickness).Spears Manufacturing produces\nthermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems.\nThe company, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, meets\nInternational Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eUnion fitting for connecting and disconnecting two pipes more easily than with couplings\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eSocket openings on both ends for connecting two male pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003ePVC for strength and resistance to chemicals and corrosion, and an EPDM seal for resistance to oil, water, and some solvents\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eMaximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eMeets ASTM D1784 and D2466 standards for quality assurance, and certified by NSF International for potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Spears Manufacturing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41532247703732,"sku":"B009F3KQ9S","price":112.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/9906\/1172\/products\/B009F3KQ9S.jpg?v=1653636489","url":"https:\/\/auspowers.com\/products\/spears-497-series-pvc-pipe-fitting-union-with-epdm-o-ring-schedule-40-3-4-socket-0-75-inch-1","provider":"AusPower Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
