This Spears transition fitting has brass female NPT threads on one end and a schedule 80 PVC socket opening on the other, and is suitable for connecting plastic and metal pipes. The National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tighter seal than straight threads, and the socket end connects to pipes with a smooth bore for enhanced flow. This transition fitting has a gray schedule 80 PVC (polyvinyl chloride) body for strength, resistance to chemicals and corrosion, and compatibility with plastic pipes. It has brass threads for strength, resistance to corrosion, and compatibility with metal pipes, and an internal O-ring seal that compensates for expansion and contraction differences between materials. It has a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F and meets ASTM International D1784 standards for quality assurance. This PVC and brass transition fitting is suitable for connecting metal and plastic pipes for transferring liquids other than drinking water.Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries.
