We've got you covered!

Clear PVC coupling fittings are transparent connectors used in plumbing systems to join two sections of clear PVC pipe together. They are designed to fit over the ends of plain-end pipes to create a secure, continuous pathway for liquid flow when properly installed. These fittings are made from a clear type of PVC, a plastic known for its strength, chemical resistance, and lasting service. The transparent design of the couplings allows visual inspection of the flow and conditions inside the pipeline, making them ideal for applications where monitoring is necessary or beneficial.
Clear PVC couplers are used to provide a clear view of conveyance media so problems can be detected without having to interrupt or disassemble the system. Clear couplers are preferred in uses where contamination must be avoided, when there is potential for biofilms, algae, or sediment buildup, and when flow conditions need to be closely monitored. They can be used to plumb and handle freshwater, non-potable water, chemicals, solutions, raw materials, and ingredients. Schedule 40 clear PVC couplers are designed to improve functionality, cleanliness, and maintenance and can be used with clear PVC pipe and other Schedule 40 pipe and components.
Features and Benefits
- Transparent Design: Allows for easy visual inspection of liquid flow and immediate detection of blockages, buildups, or leaks.
- Smooth Flow: Smooth interior walls minimize friction and resistance for maintaining efficient flow rates.
- Sizes: Available in sizes from 1/4” to 8” in diameter and Schedule 40 standard.
- Connections: Clear pipe couplings come in slip socket by socket connection options.
- Installation: To maintain visual clarity, clear cement and primer are recommended for solvent weld installation.
Quality and Safety Standards
Clear PVC couplings are made in the USA and manufactured to meet industry standards, including ISO 9001, ASTM D1784, and ASTM D2466 specifications for material quality and performance. The couplings also meet FDA Title 21 and NSF 61 standards and are approved safe for use in systems that require high levels of sanitation such as drinking water and handling consumable materials and products.
Made from high quality PVC, clear pipe couplings are designed to withstand a range of environmental conditions, chemical corrosion and attack, and temperature changes. Clear PVC couplers are safely rated for temperatures up to 140°F (60°C), with a minimum temperature of 32°F (0°C) when handling water. Due to the wide range of chemicals, always verify compatibility before using these fittings to handle chemicals or solutions.
Applications and Uses
Clear PVC coupling fittings are used to extend or repair piping systems by connecting pieces of PVC pipe. They are often used in systems where visual monitoring of plumbed fluids is necessary, such as in medical, food and beverage, chemical processing applications, industrial plants, scientific research, and laboratories. Additional applications include aquariums, pools, manufacturing and production, agriculture, pharmaceutical operations, and DIY projects.
