How to Identify and Measure Fittings
Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

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.
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.

- For Use With: Drinking Water, Water
- Maximum Temperature: 140° F
- Specifications Met: ASTM D1784, ASTM D1785, NSF/ANSI 61
- Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 40 PVC Plastic
- Flanges: Use Schedule 40 PVC Plastic
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.

- For Use With: Drinking Water, Water
- Maximum Temperature: 140° F
- Specifications Met: ASTM D1784, NSF/ANSI 61
- Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 80 PVC Plastic
- Flanges: Use Class 150 PVC Plastic
Drain, Waste, and Vent ABS Pipe Fittings for Chemicals
These Schedule 40 fittings are an economical option for gravity-flow chemical waste systems. They are ABS plastic, which has excellent strength and impact resistance and good chemical resistance. Fittings meet ASTM D2661, ASTM D3311, ASTM D3965, and ASTM F1498 specifications and testing requirements for material quality and product dimensions.
Attach socket-connect ends to unthreaded pipe or another socket-connect fitting with ABS cement (also known as solvent weld).
Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings 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.

- For Use With: Sodium Hydroxide
- Maximum Temperature: 180° F
- Specifications Met: ASTM D2661, ASTM D3311, ASTM D3965, ASTM F1498
- Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 40 ABS Plastic
- Flanges: Use Schedule 40 ABS Plastic
Aboveground Standard-Wall PVC Pipe Fittings for Drain, Waste, and Vent
- For Use With: Water
- Max. Temperature: 140° F
- Specifications Met: ASTM D1784, ASTM D2665
- Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 40 PVC Plastic
- Flanges: Use Schedule 40 PVC Plastic
These Schedule 40 fittings are the industry standard for gravity-flow drain, waste, and vent (DWV) applications. Fittings are PVC, which has good corrosion resistance. They meet ASTM D1784 and ASTM D2665 specifications and testing requirements for material quality.
Attach socket-connect ends to unthreaded pipe or another socket-connect fitting with a PVC primer and cement (also known as solvent weld).
Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.

Universal-Thread Push-to-Connect Tube Fittings for Air and Water
Threads
with Gasket
- Temperature Range: 0° to 175° F
- Tubing: Use with firm (Durometer 85A-100A) nylon plastic or polyurethane rubber
- Specifications Met: ISO 14743
Make lightweight connections without the hassle of matching the exact thread type—these fittings connect to NPT, NPTF, BSPP, BSPT, and other universal threads. With a nylon body and nickel-plated brass threads, these fittings are lighter than most metal fittings, and withstand corrosion better than plain brass threads. They also have a reusable gasket to guard against leaks. Connect the tube ends to tubing with a push, and an internal gripping ring and O-ring hold the tubing tight. To disconnect them, push the release ring and pull the tubing out of the fitting. These fittings are sometimes known as instant fittings. All meet ISO 14743, which is an international standard for push-to-connect fittings for plastic tubing.
