Also known as Schedule 80, this pipe has extra-thick walls to handle high-pressure applications. It is aluminum, which is lightweight with good corrosion resistance.

The rocker lugs on these fittings allow for easy gripping, so you can quickly connect to fire hydrants and washdown equipment. Tighten with a hook-style spanner wrench (sold separately).

Thick walls give these Schedule 80 fittings excellent strength. They have beveled ends that, when flush to pipe, create a trough for a strong weld that permits maximum flow. Fittings are aluminum, which is lightweight with good corrosion resistance.

Connect these fittings to Schedule 80 pipe. With thicker, stronger walls than standard-wall fittings, they can handle heavy duty supply applications, such as water processing, wastewater treatment, and irrigation. Fittings are plastic for good corrosion resistance. They meet ASTM specifications and testing requirements for material quality.

To prevent leaks in threaded connections, apply a sealant to the male threads. Threaded connections can be taken apart as needed for maintenance and repair. For metal threads, use PTFE tape. For plastic threads, apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant. Tape or sealants with PTFE are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic connections. When making a threaded connection be careful not to overtighten the threads. To prevent cracks and leaks, finger tighten the fitting, then wrench-tighten one to two turns.

Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings, flanges, and pipe with compressed air or gas.

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.
