High-Pressure Plastic Pipe Fitting for Water

Manufacturer part: 48315K38

Use these barbed pipe fittings in industrial plumbing, water processing, and water supply applications up to 200 psi. They meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for drinking water. Also known as insert fittings, they have a barbed end that slides into semi-flexible plastic pipe and secures with a clamp (sold separately). Since you don't have to wait for cement to dry, they're quicker to install than socket-connect fittings. Fittings are PVC, which has good strength and corrosion resistance. They meet ASTM D1784 specifications and testing requirements for material quality and ASTM D2609 specifications for barb dimensions. Note: Barbed pipe fittings are measured by pipe size, which is not an actual measured size, but rather an industry designation.Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.Sealants cannot be sold to Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Northern Virginia, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, or Utah due to local VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) regulations. To prevent leaks in threaded connections, apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant to the male threads. Tape or sealants with PTFE are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic threaded connections. When making a threaded connection be careful not to overtighten the threads. To prevent cracks and leaks, finger tighten the fitting, then wrench-tighten one to two turns. Inline tees are also known as branch tees.
