Georg Fischer 829-040 Schedule 80 Pvc Pipe Coupling 4 in

Product Description

The GEORG FISCHER 829-040 is a Schedule 80 PVC pipe coupling designed for joining 4-inch pipe sections in pressure-rated piping systems. With socket x socket (female x female) connections on both ends, this coupling accepts solvent-cemented pipe for a secure, leak-resistant joint. Schedule 80 PVC construction provides greater wall thickness than Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure and higher-stress applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this fitting in chemical, irrigation, water treatment, and industrial fluid-handling systems where PVC is specified.

This coupling is used in residential and commercial piping applications where 4-inch Schedule 80 PVC is required. Typical install scenarios include main service lines, irrigation mains, industrial process piping, and chemical distribution systems where solvent-weld fittings are standard. The socket x socket end configuration makes it appropriate for in-line pipe repairs or extensions without threading or mechanical joining hardware.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased wall thickness and higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• 4 inches x 4 inches socket x socket (female x female) end connections
• Solvent-cement-ready socket ends for a permanent, leak-resistant bond
• Suitable for chemical, irrigation, water treatment, and industrial fluid systems
• Single-unit sold individually for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 4-inch nominal pipe size with solvent-weld socket connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before cutting into existing lines. Use appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 80 fittings, and allow full cure time before restoring system pressure. Do not use this fitting with threaded pipe or mechanical compression connections.
