Polyethylene Pipe Fittings

Insert fittings are sometimes used with flexible plastic pipe such as polyethylene. Insert fittings are inserted into the pipe and sealed with an adjustable clamp. -- We no longer carry this insert type of fitting due to safety concerns.

Plastic CTS fittings or brass couplings are also used for these connections. These have gripper fittings that once inserted into the end of the tube are not removable. Pictured here is a plastic male adapter.
