High-Pressure Steel Unthreaded Pipe Flanges
Forged for extra strength, these heavy duty flanges can withstand high-pressure applications. Bolt two flat-surface flanges or two raised-surface flanges of the same size together with a gasket (sold separately) to create an access point in a pipe line.
Cap flanges are also known as blind flanges.

Thin-Wall Butt-Weld Stainless Steel Unthreaded Pipe Fittings
Also known as Schedule 10 fittings, these are thin and lightweight. They have beveled ends that, when flush to pipe, create a trough for a strong weld that permits maximum flow.
304 stainless steel fittings have very good corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel fittings have excellent corrosion resistance.

Thick-Wall Plastic Pipe Fittings for Water
Connect these fittings to Schedule 80 pipe–they have thicker, stronger walls than standard-wall fittings so they can handle heavy duty industrial plumbing and water supply applications, such as water processing, waste water treatment, and irrigation. Fittings are plastic for good corrosion resistance. They meet ASTM specifications and testing requirements for material quality.
Fittings for drinking water meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61.
Attach socket-connect ends to unthreaded pipe or another socket-connect fitting with a PVC primer and cement (also known as solvent weld).
Note: For fittings that are not rated for pressure, you can use the pressure rating of the plastic pipe as a reference. Threaded fittings are limited to 50% of the rated pressure of the pipe.
Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.

Also known as Pressure Class 150 flanges, these flanges have thick, strong walls to handle heavy duty industrial plumbing and water supply applications, such as water processing, waste water treatment, and irrigation. They meet NSF/ANSI 61 for drinking water. Bolt two same-size flanges together with a gasket (sold separately) to create an access point within a line. All are PVC, which has good corrosion resistance. They meet ASTM D1784 specifications and testing requirements for material quality.
Warning: Never use plastic pipe flanges and pipe with compressed air or gas.
Sealants cannot be sold to Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Northern Virginia, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, or Utah due to local VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) regulations.

Standard-Wall Plastic Pipe Fittings for Water
Connect these fittings to Schedule 40 plastic pipe–they are the industry standard for residential and commercial low-pressure plumbing and water supply applications. They are plastic for good corrosion resistance.
Fittings for drinking water meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61.
Attach socket-connect ends to unthreaded pipe or another socket-connect fitting with a PVC primer and cement (also known as solvent weld).
Fittings that meet ASTM D1784, ASTM D1785, and ASTM D4066 adhere to specifications and testing requirements for material quality.

Expansion Plugs with Bypass
Use the bypass tube on these plugs to add air, water, and other fluid to your pipeline or to relieve pressure while testing. Maximum air back pressure is the amount of pressure a plug can withstand without moving. Maximum water back pressure refers to the pressure resulting from the height of the water above the plug.

Air-Inflatable Plugs
Conform to wide and out-of-round pipes with these inflatable plugs. Also known as pneumatic plugs, they're designed for temporary seals since they can lose pressure over time. Inflate with a hand pump (sold separately); an air compressor may overinflate the plug and cause damage. Tether the plugs using either the eyebolt or chain/ring so they don't get lost or stuck in your pipes. Maximum air back pressure is the amount of pressure a plug can withstand without moving. Maximum water back pressure refers to the pressure resulting from the height of the water above the plug.
