This pipe fitting is suitable for use in cold-water pressure distribution systems including irrigation pool and spa potable water and chilled water applications. Pipe fittings are components used for connecting terminating controlling flow and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. This schedule 40 (standard wall) fitting is made of CPVC (polymerizing vinyl chloride) for corrosion resistance high strength and less weight than fittings made from metal. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings. CPVC can be connected to other materials such as steel copper or cast iron using transition fittings. This fitting provides superior flow to metal because of its smooth interior finish which reduces friction and inhibits buildup of materials.
