Charlotte Pipe Schedule 80 1/2 in. Slip X 1/2 in. D Slip PVC Coupling is a purpose-built, heavy-duty connector designed for durable DWV (drain-waste-vent) piping projects. With slip ends on both sides, this 1/2-inch PVC coupling creates quick, reliable joins in tight spaces where a strong, leak-free seal matters most. Built from PVC and reinforced by Schedule 80 walls, it stands up to demanding installations while maintaining a compact footprint for commercial and residential applications.
Why choose Schedule 80 for DWV connections
- Robust wall thickness: Schedule 80 construction delivers greater impact resistance and durability in demanding runs, making it ideal for hidden or exposed sections where leaks or stress can occur.
- Slip-to-slip convenience: Both ends are slip (smooth interior) to fit over 1/2 in. PVC pipe, simplifying alignment and gluing during installation.
- Lead-free assurance: Average Lead Content: Lead-Free, providing safer materials for potable water proximity and compliant manufacturing standards.
- Trusted certifications: IAPMO Certified and NSF Listed, signaling adherence to industry standards for sanitary and safety performance.
- Temperature and compatibility: Rated for up to 140°F, suitable for typical indoor DWV environments where heat exposure is a consideration.
