American Granby dpc125 Pvc Drop Pipe Coupling 1-1/4 in Sch 120

Product Description

The AMERICAN GRANBY dpc125 is a Schedule 120 PVC drop pipe coupling designed for connecting pipe sections in submersible pump installations. Machined from custom extruded PVC stock rather than molded, this coupling eliminates the weak points that can form during the molding process, resulting in a structurally consistent fitting across its full length. Tapered pipe threads create a positive, watertight seal at each joint. The coupling is reamed and drifted at the factory for easy thread engagement during assembly. It is sized for 1-1/4 inch pipe and is suited to the demands of deep-well and submersible pump drop pipe configurations.

This coupling is used primarily in submersible pump drop pipe systems where consistent thread engagement and pressure integrity are critical. It is also appropriate for general threaded PVC piping applications where a Schedule 120 wall thickness is specified. Typical installation scenarios include residential and light commercial well pump systems where the drop pipe is assembled section by section before lowering into the well casing. Licensed plumbers and well pump contractors are the primary installers.

Key Features

• Machined from custom extruded PVC stock, eliminating weak points found in molded couplings
• Schedule 120 wall thickness for heavy-duty pressure service
• Tapered pipe threads for positive watertight connections
• Reamed and drifted for easy thread starting during assembly
• Available in Schedule 80 or Schedule 120 configurations
• Made in the U.S.A.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded coupling for 1-1/4 inch PVC drop pipe in submersible pump applications, as well as other standard threaded PVC piping systems requiring Schedule 120 fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or well pump contractor following applicable IPC guidelines. Shut off power to the submersible pump and relieve system pressure before disassembling or extending the drop pipe. Use a suitable PVC thread sealant or tape rated for potable water applications on all threaded joints. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as PVC fittings can crack under excessive torque.
