- Temperature & Pressure: Supplier specifications list a maximum service temperature around 140°F and maximum operating pressures consistent with Schedule 40 PVC (supplier listings cite up to ~480 psi depending on application).
- Applications: Ideal for irrigation lines, pool and spa plumbing, and potable water systems where Schedule 40 PVC fittings are used.

Installation tip: apply PTFE thread sealant or appropriate pipe thread tape to the male threads before installing; hand-tighten and finish with a strap or adjustable wrench if needed—avoid over-tightening. Note: supplier documentation advises against using PVC Schedule 40 threaded fittings for compressed air or gas systems. For critical potable-water or code-sensitive installations, confirm the specific certification and local code requirements on the product data sheet or with the manufacturer prior to use.
