Manufactured in the United States from PVC Type I with a cell classification of 12454, this fitting meets ASTM D1784 and is produced according to ASTM D2609 for use with polyethylene pipe meeting ASTM D2239. The molded white PVC construction measures 4-17/32 inches in length and carries NSF certification for potable water service. Plumbers and pipe system contractors install this fitting to transition between insert-style connections and spigot-style pipe ends in residential and commercial plumbing systems.
