Standard-Wall Plastic Pipe Fittings for Water
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/488/4880k72-4880k772-48925k92c1-c01d-digital-master1575325836-p9@halfx_637109062051494146.png?ver=imagenotfound)
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.
BSPT threaded pipe connections meet ISO 7-1.
Attach socket-connect ends to unthreaded pipe or another socket-connect fitting with a PVC primer and cement (also known as solvent weld).
To prevent leaks in threaded connections, apply a sealant to the male threads. For plastic threads, apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant. Tape or sealants with PTFE are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic connections. Fittings that meet ASTM D1784, ASTM D1785, and ASTM D4066 adhere to specifications and testing requirements for material quality.
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.

Miniature Medium-Pressure Stainless Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings
When space is at a premium choose these compact fittings. Though small in size, they have the strength to handle medium-pressure applications. Fittings are stainless steel for very good corrosion resistance.
Female x male 90° elbow adapters are also known as street elbows.
Metric, BSPP, and UN/UNF (SAE Straight) male threads have a gasket to protect against leaks. Made from fluoroelastomer, these gaskets resist chemicals, including benzene, butyl alcohol, and ethylene glycol. UN/UNF (SAE Straight) threads are also known as O-ring boss threads.

High-Pressure Plated Brass Threaded Pipe Fittings
The plating on these brass fittings creates a shiny finish and provides extra protection in corrosive environments. Fittings have the strength to handle high-pressure applications.
Nickel-plated brass fittings provide better corrosion resistance than unplated brass fittings.
Female x male 90° elbow adapters are also known as street elbows.
