PVC Pipe and Fitting Dimension Information

PVC Dimensions - The Low-down

Where can I find dimensions for this PVC fitting or pipe?

We get this question a lot. Two sources I keep bookmarked are the Spears Manufacturing online technical sourcebook and the Lasco Fittings techsheet webpage. Each of these resources is searchable (CTL + F) by part number, making finding the exact dimensions on a specific part a breeze. Check them out for yourself here:

 

Spears Manufacturing Online Technical Sourcebook > Click Here

Lasco Fittings, Inc. Technical Data for PVC and CPVC > Click Here

 

Between these two resources you can find dimensional data on all sorts of PVC, CPVC pipe and fittings and more. Both resources use PDF format, as it is easy to download and searchable. Spears even updates their tech sheets weekly!

Unlike parts in other industries, PVC fitting parts many times use the same part number across brands. That means a Spears part and a Lasco part may have the same part number. While some part dimensions should stay fairly constant across brands (pipe, couplings) some may differ slightly in things like outer dimension. For exact dimensional data on a fitting be sure you use information from that specific manufacturer.

 

Other Tips:

-  Know what schedule PVC you’re looking at (schedule 40 or schedule 80)

-   Use the part number in your search (for fittings this is commonly a 6 digit number with a dash in the middle, like 435-080.

-  Know the term for the measurement you need (Outside diameter, inside diameter, min. wall, etc.)

-   See our Resource Center Glossary for help with PVC terms
