<strong>PVC</strong> <strong>SCHEDULE</strong> <strong>40</strong> <strong>FITTINGS</strong>Performance Engineered & Tested<strong>40</strong>-2-0604SPEARS ® Schedule <strong>40</strong> <strong>PVC</strong> fitting designs combine years ofproven experience with computer generated stress analysisto yield the optimum physical structure and performancefor each fitting. Material reinforcement is uniformly placedin stress concentration areas for substantially improvedpressure handling capability. Resulting products aresubjected to numerous verification tests to assure the verybest <strong>PVC</strong> fittings available.Full 1/4" Through 12" AvailabilitySpears ® comprehensive line of <strong>PVC</strong> fittings offers a varietyof injection molded configurations in Schedule <strong>40</strong> sizes 1/4"through 12" conforming to ASTM D 2466.Exceptional Chemical & CorrosionResistanceUnlike metal, <strong>PVC</strong> fittings never rust, scale, or pit, and willprovide many years of maintenance-free service and extendedsystem life.High Temperature Ratings<strong>PVC</strong> thermoplastic can handle fluids at service temperaturesup to 1<strong>40</strong>°F (60°C), allowing a wide range of processapplications, including corrosive fluids.Lower Installation CostsSubstantially lower material costs than steel alloys or linedsteel, combined with lighter weight and ease of installation,can reduce installation costs by as much as 60% overconventional metal systems.Higher Flow CapacitySmooth interior walls result in lower pressure loss and highervolume than conventional metal fittings.Additional Fabricated Configurationsthrough 36"Extra large, hard-to-find, and custom configurations arefabricated from NSF Certified pipe. Fittings are engineered andtested to provide full pressure handling capabilities accordingto Spears ® specifications.<strong>PVC</strong> ValvesSPEARS ® <strong>PVC</strong> Valve products are available for totalsystem compatibility and uniformity; see SPEARS ®THERMOPLASTIC VALVES PRODUCT GUIDE &ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS (V-4).Advanced Design Specialty FittingsSpears ® wide range of innovative, improved products includenumerous metal-to-plastic transition fittings and unions withSpears ® patented special reinforced (SR) plastic threads.Sample Engineering SpecificationsAll <strong>PVC</strong> Schedule <strong>40</strong> fi ttings shall be produced by Spears ®Manufacturing Company from <strong>PVC</strong> Type I cell classifi cation12454, conforming to ASTM D 1784.
