Clear PVC Fittings

Clear PVC fittings are used along with clear PVC pipe or standard pipe to provide the visibility needed to monitor piping systems and flow media. They allow the visual inspection of junctions, joints, turns and adaptors in piping runs. Clear PVC fittings can be used to visualize fluid flow rate and proper operation of the system. The smooth inner wall of the fittings work with the pipe to allow max flow through the system and decrease the ability for sediment to gather in the system. Use clear PVC fittings to monitor pipe cleanliness, algae growth, blockages and sediment buildup. These fitting types are frequently used for industrial applications, manufacturing, electroplating, photofinishing, scientific research, biological studies, pharmaceutical and medical operations, chemical production, aquariums, zoos, aquatic parks and pools.

Available clear PVC fittings include 90 degree and 45 degree elbows, tees, coupling fittings, adaptor fittings, bushings, caps and clear PVC wye fittings. Clear PVC fittings are made in the USA according to ISO 9001, ASTM D1784 and ASTM D2466 standards. They are NSF and FDA Title 21 approved for use with consumables and potable water. Clear PVC fittings are suitable for use in double containment installations (pipe-in-pipe systems). They are rated to handle temperatures between 32 degrees F and 140 degrees F (0°C - 60°C). Clear PVC fittings are non conductive to electricity, have low thermal absorption properties, resist environmental corrosion such as rust and have excellent chemical resistance.

Clear PVC fittings are manufactured with a schedule 40 thickness. Clear PVC Fittings are available in sizes from 1/4” up to 8” and will depend on fitting type. The fittings come mostly in socket type connection style with spigot style or threaded adaptors available on some models. Traditional solvent welding using PVC cement and primer is best for joining clear PVC fittings. Clear type cement and primer is recommended.

Clear PVC fittings are transparent pipe components made for use with clear PVC pipes or standard pipes. The fittings are see-through to allow the visual inspection of junctions, joints, turns, and adaptors within plumbing systems. Clear PVC fittings provide system transparency and allow users to monitor piping networks and flow quality to ensure clean, proper operation. The fittings have smooth inner walls that maximize flow rate and decrease the ability for sediment buildup. Clear PVC fittings are used to monitor pipe cleanliness and the amount of algae growth, microbial growth and biofilms, blockages, and sediment to keep systems working optimally and efficiently. 

Clear PVC Fitting Sizes and Options

Clear PVC fitting sizes range from 1/4” to 8” in diameter. Size options depend on fitting type. Clear PVC fitting types include 90 degree elbows, 45 degree elbows, tees, couplings, adaptors, bushings, caps, and clear PVC wye fittings. Clear pipe fittings are made to Schedule 40 thickness standards and can be used with other Schedule 40 pipes, fittings, and valves.

Connection options for clear PVC fittings include slip socket, socket by spigot, socket by female threaded, and socket by male threaded. Clear PVC fittings are predominantly socket type connections with spigot style ends with threaded adaptors available for certain models. For optimal results, traditional solvent welding with PVC cement and primer is recommended for socket connections. Clear cement and primer are the preferred choices to maintain visual clarity after installation.

Quality and Safety Standards

Our clear PVC fittings are made in the USA and manufactured according to ISO 9001, ASTM D1784, and ASTM D2466 standards. They are NSF 61 and FDA Title 21 approved for use with consumables, raw materials, ingredients, and potable water. 

Applications and Uses

Clear PVC fittings are engineered for versatility, reduced system downtime, enhanced quality control, and streamlined maintenance. Their transparent, see-through design allows early detection of potential blockages or the buildup of unwanted materials, improves monitoring of fluid purity and consistency, and makes pinpointing problem areas effortless for faster repairs. Clear PVC fittings resist environmental corrosion such as rust, have excellent chemical resistance, low thermal absorption properties, and are electrically non-conductive. They are rated to handle water temperatures between 32°F and 140°F (0°C - 60°C). Clear PVC pipe fittings are commonly used in industrial applications, manufacturing, electroplating, photofinishing, scientific research, laboratories, biological studies, pharmaceutical and medical operations, chemical production, aquariums, zoos, aquatic parks, and pools.
