Spears S119 Series PVC Pipe Fitting, Repair Coupling with EPDM O-ring, White, 3" Socket

The Spears S119 series repair coupling, in white, is made of PVC, has socket connections, has a double EPDM O-ring seal, connects two pipes running in the same direction, and is suitable for waste water systems in residential applications. This schedule 40 (standard wall) fitting is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than fittings made from metal. PVC can be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. The EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) O-ring has good resistance to weathering, ozone, UV light, electricity, oils, water, steam, and some solvents. This repair coupling fitting connects two ends of a pipe to repair damage or can function as a short-stroke expansion joint, and the female socket connections slip over the ends of male unthreaded pipes to create an enhanced flow. The fitting has an operating temperature range of 73 to 140 degrees F (23 to 60 degrees C). This repair coupling meets American Society for Testing and Materials International (ASTM) D2467 for quality assurance, National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF)/American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard 61 Annex G for potable water, and conforms with lead content requirements for "lead free" plumbing as defined by California and Vermont. It is suitable for waste water systems in residential applications.Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness). Spears Manufacturing produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
