Value Collection 830-005 Pvc Coupling 1/2 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 830-005 is a Schedule 80 PVC pipe coupling designed to join two sections of half-inch pipe using female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on both ends. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure resistance compared to Schedule 40, making this coupling suitable for demanding plumbing and industrial fluid-handling applications. The threaded FIPT x FIPT configuration allows for tool-assisted installation onto male-threaded pipe ends without the need for solvent cement at the joint. Plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in pressurized water, chemical distribution, and irrigation systems where PVC is an approved material.

This coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, as well as industrial process piping where PVC Schedule 80 is specified. Typical applications include potable water supply lines, irrigation manifolds, chemical feed lines, and condensate drain systems. The half-inch size fits standard half-inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe and is sold individually.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• FIPT x FIPT end connections accept standard male-threaded pipe on both sides
• Half-inch fitting size for use with standard half-inch PVC pipe
• PVC construction offers corrosion resistance for water and many chemical services
• Compact coupling profile for installations with limited straight-run clearance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard installation fitting for half-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems with male-threaded pipe ends.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before beginning any threaded fitting work. Apply a compatible thread sealant tape or paste to the male threads before hand-tightening, then complete with a pipe wrench — avoid overtightening, which can crack PVC fittings. Do not use this coupling on systems carrying fluids or at temperatures incompatible with PVC material ratings.
