    About Pipe and Fittings

    Measure your pipe and fittings to identify their pipe size, thread size, schedule, and thread type. Then, find compatible components.

    Spin-Weld Plastic Pipe Fittings for Water

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Pipe and Fittings. Spin-Weld Plastic Pipe Fittings for Water.
    Create a leak-free, durable connection in plastic tanks, walls, or panels without gaskets or sealants. As you spin these fittings with a handheld electric router, they melt into the surface of your tank for a seal without any joints. To hold these fittings in your router, you’ll need the installation tool (sold separately). For proper installation, you’ll want to use a hole saw to drill a hole that matches the For Hole Diameter listed and check that your router meets the speed and power requirements shown in the table.
    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.

    Through-wall fittings are also known as bulkhead couplings; they mount through your wall or tank to create an inlet or outlet. When installing, the gasket should be on the inside of the wall.
    Fittings for tanks create an inlet or outlet connection on the surface of any tank, pressure vessel, or drum.
    Threaded Fitting Connection—Threaded female x butt weld straight adapters are also known as half couplings.
