SPEARS® Patented Special Reinforced (SR) plastic female thread design is one of the most significant advancements in the use of CPVC Fire Sprinkler System threaded fittings. Not just an added ring, this unique precompression design compensates for expansion forces generated from tapered pipe thread joint make-up. Radial stress is no longer a problem in normal installations and easily managed in severe over-tightening situations.
