Value Collection 829-003 Pvc Pipe Coupling 3/8 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 829-003 is a Schedule 80 PVC slip-end pipe coupling designed for joining 3/8-inch pipe sections in pressure-rated piping systems. Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness provides greater pressure tolerance than Schedule 40, making this coupling suitable for demanding residential and light commercial plumbing and industrial fluid-handling applications. Slip end connections accept standard 3/8-inch PVC pipe for solvent-welded assembly. At 0.04 pounds, the fitting is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. This type of fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters.

This coupling is suited for use in cold and ambient-temperature water supply, chemical distribution, and irrigation systems where PVC is a code-acceptable material. Schedule 80 fittings are commonly specified where higher system pressures are anticipated or where additional wall strength is required by the design engineer or local code. The slip configuration requires solvent cement for a permanent, leak-free joint and is not intended for threaded connections.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• Slip end connections on both sides for solvent-welded joints
• Fits standard 3/8-inch PVC pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 3/8-inch slip-end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) or local jurisdiction requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing piping. Use a proper PVC cutter or miter saw for clean, square pipe ends, and apply a compatible Schedule 80 PVC primer and solvent cement per the cement manufacturer's instructions. Allow full cure time before restoring system pressure.
