1.5" PVC Union FPT X FPT / Sch 40

Unions used in plumbing or under constant pressure are a schedule 80 which is thicker material but for most irrigation systems this schedule 40 will preform just as well. We carry the schedule 40 because our customers wanted them to use after the irrigation valve which means they are only under pressure when the system is on, not under constant pressure.

  • Schedule 40 PVC fittings are the standard for use in irrigation systems, both for Drip Irrigation and Sprinkler Irrigation.

    When installing a few simple rules apply.

    • If gluing make sure both parts are clean then coat both parts with a thin layer of PVC glue.
    • If pipe is old or has been exposed to weather use a PVC cleaner first.
    • If both fittings are threaded use two to three wraps of teflon tape on the male threads before screwing together.
    • If threading a softer plastic piece to threaded PVC teflon tape is not normally needed but one or two wraps maximum may be used. Most softer plastic in this situation will be a black color.
    • Grey sprinkler risers should always be installed with teflon tape.
