PVC WHITE SCHEDULE 40 FITTINGS UNIONS & SADDLES
Performance Engineered & Tested
SPEARS® Schedule 40 PVC fi tting designs combine years of
proven experience with computer generated stress analysis
to yield the optimum physical structure and performance
for each fi tting. Material reinforcement is uniformly placed
in stress concentration areas for substantially improved
pressure handling capability. Resulting products are
subjected to numerous verifi cation tests to assure the very
best PVC fi ttings available.
Full 1/4" Through 12" Availability
Spears® comprehensive line of PVC fi ttings offers a variety
of injection molded confi gurations in Schedule 40 sizes 1/4"
through 12" conforming to ASTM D 2466.
Exceptional Chemical & Corrosion Resistance
Unlike metal, PVC fi ttings never rust, scale, or pit, and
will provide many years of maintenance-free service and
extended system life.
High Temperature Ratings
PVC thermoplastic can handle fl uids at service temperatures
up to 140°F (60°C), allowing a wide range of process
applications, including corrosive fl uids.
Lower Installation Costs
Substantially lower material costs than steel alloys or lined
steel, combined with lighter weight and ease of installation,
can reduce installation costs by as much as 60% over
conventional metal systems.
Higher Flow Capacity
Smooth interior walls result in lower pressure loss and higher
volume than conventional metal fi ttings.
Additional Fabricated Confi gurations
through 36"
Extra large, hard-to-find, and custom configurations are
fabricated from NSF
and tested to provide full pressure handling capabilities
according to Spears
Certifi ed pipe. Fittings are engineered
®
®
specifi cations.
PVC Valves
SPEARS® PVC Valve products are available for total
system compatibility and uniformity.
Advanced Design Specialty Fittings
Spears® wide range of innovative, improved products include
numerous metal-to-plastic transition fi ttings and unions with
®
Spears
patented special reinforced (SR) plastic threads.
1/2" Through 16" Industrial Pipe Availability
Spears® premium quality Industrial CPVC pipe is offered
in Schedule 40 White sizes 1/2" through 16".
Sample Engineering Specifi cations

General Information
Recommendations For Installers And Users
Plastic piping systems should be ENGINEERED, INSTALLED and OPERATED in accordance with ESTABLISHED DESIGN AND
ENGINEERING STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES for plastic piping systems. Suitability for the intended service application should be
determined by the installer and/or user prior to installation of a plastic piping system. PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY, all piping system components
should be inspected for damage or irregularities. Mating components should be checked to assure that tolerances and engagements
are compatible. Do not use any components that appear irregular or do not fit properly. Contact the appropriate manufacturer of the
component product in question to determine usability. Consult all applicable codes and regulations for compliance prior to installation.
Solvent Weld Connections — Use quality solvent cements and primers formulated for the intended service application, pipe size and
type of joint. While the pipe and fitting materials may be compatible with the intended medium, the solvent cement may not be. Consult the
manufacturers for suitability of use. Read and follow the cement and primer manufacturers’ applications and cure time instructions thoroughly.
Be sure to use the correct size applicator.
Threaded Connections — Use a quality grade thread sealant. WARNING: SOME PIPE JOINT COMPOUNDS OR PTFE PASTES MAY
CONTAIN SUBSTANCES THAT COULD CAUSE STRESS CRACKING TO PLASTIC. Spears® Manufacturing Company recommends the use
of Spears® BLUE 75™ Thread Sealant which has been tested for compatibility with Spears® products. Please follow the sealant manufacturers’
application / installation instructions. Choice of an appropriate thread sealant other than those listed above is at the discretion of the installer. 1 to
2 turns beyond FINGER TIGHT is generally all that is required to make a sound plastic threaded connection. Unnecessary OVERTIGHTENING
will cause DAMAGE TO BOTH PIPE AND FITTING.
