FITTINGS




In my 35 years experience I have used many fittings. These are many of the fittings I have used. This Fittings page will continue to grow as I have time to post items. These are fittings that I use in my business. With few exceptions I don’t list any products that I don’t use.
The tools to complement these fittings are on the Tools page.

Dura flexible couplers are a great problem solver. See my video below about them.

These links are currently for 1″ fittings unless otherwise noted. If you need a different size then simply click the appropriate fitting link and tweak the listing. Some listings have the various available sizes on a drop down list while others require a tweak of the search within the Amazon search window. I will add more fittings and sizes as I have time. Also be sure to check on the listing whether there is a place to select mulitples of that item such as a pack of 5 or 10. These tend to have better prices per item. I have provided the links for individual item purchasing as a default. Let me know if there are any issues with these links. Thank you.
Spears and Lasco are the best professional grade PVC fittings on the market. Spears is the most commonly sold in the two largest suppliers in North America so it’s what I mostly use.
The nomenclature inside the parentheses are the nicknames (short names) we call them in our industry. A little industry jargon for ya. . . free of charge.
