It joins two threaded pipe runs of the same diameter in a straight inline configuration. At 3\/8 inches, this fitting is suited for low-volume liquid and chemical handling lines where PVC's corrosion resistance and pressure rating are required. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure capability compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for moderate-pressure systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling during new construction or repair work on PVC-threaded piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and industrial process piping where threaded PVC fittings are specified. The FIPT x FIPT configuration accepts male-threaded pipe on both sides, allowing a straight splice or extension of an existing threaded run. It is commonly found in chemical drainage lines, water distribution branches, and low-pressure pneumatic or liquid supply systems where metal fittings would corrode or add unnecessary weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFIPT x FIPT end connections accept male NPT-threaded pipe on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch fitting size for small-diameter threaded piping runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePVC material offers corrosion resistance suitable for water and many chemical services\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.04 pounds — minimal load on supporting structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3\/8-inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems using NPT-standard male-threaded pipe ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing any existing fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads before assembly — do not apply sealant to the female threads. Hand-tighten first, then use strap wrenches rated for plastic fittings; avoid metal pipe wrenches directly on PVC, which can crack the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FIPT x FIPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 830-003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51712914260274,"sku":"830-003","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/47a323608064e64044bb3351f9365242.jpg?v=1788489424","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-830-003-pvc-coupling-3-8-in-sch-80-fipt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
