1-1/4 FIPT X INSERT FA

The 1435 series tube fitting is made of gray polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and connects schedule 40 polyethelene (PE) pipe to threaded pipe conforming to the National Pipe Thread (NPT) standard. This adapter has a barbed fitting on one end to create a tight seal on flexible PE pipe when used with a hose clamp (sold separately), and a female NPT connector on the other end connects to threaded pipe. PVC is corrosion resistant, and has high strength. It resists reactions with acids, gasoline, alcohol, and hydrocarbons. The fitting meets D 2609 standards set by ASTM International for plastic insert fittings for use with PE pipe, as well as ASTM schedule 40 standards for wall thickness to support working pressure to 140 psi. It is certified by NSF International for use with potable water.
