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.

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.

Connect these fittings to UV-resistant PVC pipe. Designed for outdoor use, they contain an additive that protects against the damaging effects of ultraviolet light. Fittings are typically used in low-pressure residential and commercial plumbing and water supply applications up to 300 psi.

With thinner walls than Schedule 40 fittings, these are lighter in weight and have more space on the inside for high-flow applications, such as underground gravity-flow sewer and storm drainage lines. They are also known as SDR 35 fittings.
