Hi,

Has anyone spotted this locally?

http://www.amazon.com/Amico-Brass-Female-Thread-Coupler/dp/B00ARBHTRE/ref=sr_1_8?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1369998425&sr=1-8&keywords=amico+pvc+brass

I'm laying out the plan and BOM for the powder teardown and this is one of the considerations that I have.

Re: PVC couplings with brass female threads

Bro I think I have come across these types of pvc accessories a few years back at large home depots, just can't remember which one, if Wilcon or Ortigas home depots. Might as well check out True Value at the Shang.

For what purpose? Waterline?

If your waterline there's no available PVC Pipe with brass thread. What available in the market & even home depot's are PPR Pipe & Fittings. These fittings can be only joined by fusion weld using PPR welding machine.

And if that fails, try Dexterton.

When I built my house, I got my insulated PE pipes from Dexterton. Mine is different from one in the picture but I recall I saw something like that there.

Ding,

What part of your house did you used the insulated PE Pipes?

Re: PVC couplings with brass female threads

The embedded threads could get stripped off the PVC if get overtightened.

This is what I did:

You can use stainless steel fittings if you want.

All bathrooms.

But didn't know any better then. Got the ones that need crimping, not the fusion type. Now, I cringe at the thought of needing to repair any of them as I'm not sure any ordinary plumber can do it.
