Common Types of SCH 40 PVC Fittings
LESSO America’s SCH 40 PVC fittings include various styles to accommodate different pipe layouts and functions. Elbows are commonly used to change the direction of flow, typically at 90 or 45 degrees. Tees allow for the connection of three pipes at a single junction, ideal for splitting or combining flow.
Couplings join two straight pieces of pipe together, while adapters connect pipes to components with threaded ends. End caps are used to close off the end of a pipe, often during pressure testing or future expansion. Bushings help in reducing pipe sizes and are used when connecting pipes of different diameters.
