Simple, straightforward and low shipping rates for these compression fittings.



PVC Compression Fittings

(AKA: Dresser Fittings)

PVC compression fittings may be a quick-fix in some emergency situations that require a temporary or even permanent repair in a hurry, with less down time. If you need to add a line by teeing into an existing line, no problem; just prepare your tee (either glue socket outlet or female pipe threaded outlet) by adding a valve, then turn off your water, cut your line and insert the tee, tighten the compression ends and turn the water back on. Use two male adapters and a threaded valve to quickly add a shut off when needed. Need other PVC fittings? Click here for the best selection of PVC fittings on the Internet!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. "Are there any precautions to take when using these compression PVC fittings?"
A. Yes, the pipe should be secured to prevent movement that can cause the pipe to separate from the fitting. This can be accomplished by strapping it to stakes on each side of the fitting or blocking the ends of the run where it stops or changes direction.

Q. "Do you recommend using PTFE thread sealing tape on PVC threads?"
A. Lasco Manufacturing says: "It is wrong to add excess bulk to a threaded joint by wrapping male threads in Teflon® tape. It is wrong to make over-tightening easier by using Teflon® tape..." We have seen much similar PTFE thread sealing tape used satisfactorily but cannot (due to liability potential) recommend that you use PTFE thread sealing tape (pipe dope designed for PVC, such as we offer above, is acceptable).
