Nationwide Leader in PVC Fittings
Certified Quality Standards
Our plastic fittings line is renowned nationwide for its superior quality, which complies with cNSFus and CUPC certifications, and meets the requirements of ASTM standards and CSA standards. Our products are certified under NSF/ANSI 14 Plastics Piping System Components, NSF SE 7992 ABS and PVC DW Fitting with Alternate Fitting Patterns, ASTM D 1784 for Rigid PVC and CPVC Compounds, ASTM D 2665 for PVC Drain, Waste, and Vent Pipe and Fittings, and CSA B 181.2 for PVC and CPVC Drain, Waste, and Vent Pipe systems.
More About PVC Fittings
Polyvinyl chloride, commonly known as PVC, is more cost-effective than other materials, resists cracking, isn't affected by acids, and can be rigid or flexible. Because of its strength and resilience, PVC is used for many things. Depending on its width, it can be used to move liquid and gases safely. Owing to its composition, PVC is limited to carrying liquids at temperatures less than 140 degrees, making PVC unsuitable for carrying hot water.
PVC fittings may either have spigot or hub/slip end connections. A spigot end is the equivalent of a male end, and a hub/slip (socket) end is the equivalent of a female end. A spigot end fits into a hub/slip (socket) end. PVC pipe has spigot ends and must connect to hub connections on both ends. PVC fittings are solvent welded to PVC pipe using PVC cement. PVC cement is sticky like glue, but it actually melts plastic, creating a weld between PVC pipe and a fitting.
DWV
DWV PVC is designed for gravity-fed systems that carry wastewater and vent air out of plumbing lines. Unlike Schedule 40 and 80, it’s not pressure-rated, making it ideal for residential and commercial drainage applications. Lightweight and easy to install, DWV pipe and fittings meet ASTM D2665 standards.
SCH 40
Schedule 40 PVC is the most widely used type of plastic piping, offering a reliable balance of strength, affordability, and versatility. It’s ideal for residential plumbing, irrigation systems, and low- to medium-pressure applications. With a smooth interior for efficient flow, it meets ASTM D1785 standards for pressurized systems.
SCH 80
Schedule 80 PVC features thicker walls than Schedule 40, making it a durable choice for high-pressure and industrial applications. Its dark gray color sets it apart visually, and it's commonly used in chemical handling, processing plants, and heavy-duty water systems. Like Schedule 40, it meets ASTM D1785 standards but with enhanced pressure resistance.
SDR 35
SDR 35 PVC pipe features a thinner wall relative to its diameter, designed primarily for gravity-fed systems like drainage and sewer applications. It is not pressure-rated, making it ideal for non-pressurized plumbing where efficient flow and durability are key. Manufactured to ASTM standards, SDR 35 balances strength and cost-effectiveness for residential and commercial drainage solutions.
