Quality Products
Plastic Trends' fittings are recognized for the highest quality standards in the industry. They meet or exceed ASTM, CSA, UL and AWWA standards and are third party listed by NSF, UPC, CSA and UL. As a result of superior technology, our STI™ Gasketed Sewer SDR 35, Perfect Fit™ Solvent Weld DWV, and Solvent Weld Sewer SDR 35 are the only fittings in the industry with triple certification listing by NSF, UPC and CSA. Our fittings are regularly tested by our staff of quality control engineers to assure outstanding fitting quality. All fittings are tested for joint tightness, internal stress, and dimensional accuracy.
Your pipe system relies on the high quality of our fittings. In addition to third party listing and internal controls, Plastic Trends also ensures that quality by optimizing product lines with many distinct engineered features. Branches on our SDR 26 Heavy Wall and SDR 35 STI™ 4” and 6” Tees, Wyes and Sanitary Tees have been strengthened to a minimum wall thickness of SDR 18. Our Ultra Heavy Duty™ Gasketed Sewer fittings have the thickest wall available in the industry for extreme applications. We also offer the most extensive line of large diameter DWV fittings. The Perfect Fit™ Solvent Weld DWV fittings offer consistent and accurate dimensions which are engineered for strength and durability. Other features of our fittings include the elimination of infiltration and ex-filtration, the ability to maintain a systems water pressure and strength to withstand long term deflection. Our PVC gasketed injection molded fittings also have unique square pipe-stops. PVC's resistance to corrosion, abrasion, scouring, and gouging means our fittings are tough and resilient.
