    Diverting Valves with Fire-Fighting Hose Fittings

    Control the flow of water in two directions from a single source—these diverting valves have two balls and handles for independent operation of each outlet. They can direct flow to one side outlet at full capacity while shutting off flow to the second side outlet, direct flow to both side outlets at reduced capacity, or shut off flow to both side outlets. Valves have a brass body for good corrosion resistance. They are for use with fire-fighting hose.

    Female NPSH threads are compatible with male NPSH, NPT, NPTF, and NPSM threads.
    Male NPSH (National Pipe Straight Hose) threads are compatible with female NPSH threads.
    Flow Coefficient (Cv)—Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.

    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.
    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.

    Low-Pressure Iron Y-Strainers

    A rugged iron body provides excellent strength and durability. Strainers prevent damage to valves, pumps, nozzles, and other sensitive equipment by catching debris in your pipeline. They are designed for low-pressure applications. Strainers are for use in noncorrosive environments. They have a threaded drain with a plug that provides access to the screen without disconnecting your line.

    CPVC Pipe Fittings for Chemicals

    Made of CPVC, these fittings withstand salt solutions, acids, and other harsh substances. They have thick, strong walls to handle heavy duty industrial plumbing and water supply applications, such as water processing and wastewater treatment. These fittings are comparable to Corzan. Some meet ASTM D1784 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.

    Thick-Wall Plastic Pipe Fittings for Water

    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.
