Description
PVC Sch40 Pipe Extender (Pipe O.D. Spigot x Pipe I.D. Spigot)
Spears® Manufacturing PVC Schedule 40 Pipe Extender is a specialty repair fitting designed with a Pipe O.D. Spigot x Pipe I.D. Spigot configuration to help extend existing Schedule 40 PVC pipe when a conventional outside fitting connection is difficult to make.
The extender provides a practical solution for difficult broken-pipe repairs by allowing one end to connect inside compatible Schedule 40 PVC pipe while the opposite end provides a pipe outside-diameter spigot connection for continuing the piping layout.

Pipe Extender Configuration
The Pipe O.D. Spigot x Pipe I.D. Spigot configuration is designed so the extender can engage the inside diameter of compatible Schedule 40 PVC pipe while providing a pipe outside-diameter spigot on the opposite end for continuing the repair or piping connection.
This specialized configuration can provide additional usable connection length in situations where damaged, broken, or shortened PVC pipe leaves insufficient exposed pipe for installing a conventional socket-style repair fitting.
Schedule 40 PVC Construction
The pipe extender is manufactured from PVC for use with compatible Schedule 40 piping, providing a lightweight and corrosion-resistant repair component that integrates with properly matched PVC pipe and fittings.
Correct material, schedule, and dimensional compatibility should always be confirmed before installation because the Pipe I.D. Spigot connection depends on proper engagement with the inside diameter of the existing Schedule 40 PVC pipe.
Repair & Extension Use
Spears® Schedule 40 pipe extenders are designed to help make difficult broken-pipe repairs easier, especially where the remaining PVC pipe does not provide enough accessible outside surface for a conventional fitting connection.
The extender can also be useful when additional pipe length is needed to continue a compatible repair connection, helping reduce the amount of surrounding piping that may otherwise need to be removed or replaced during corrective work.
Common Applications
This Schedule 40 pipe extender is useful for compatible PVC piping repairs, maintenance work, shortened pipe connections, and difficult retrofit situations where extending the existing pipe can provide a more practical connection point for completing the installation.
Always confirm the nominal pipe size, Schedule 40 wall configuration, available insertion area, mating fitting arrangement, and applicable Spears® joining requirements before selecting the extender for a specific repair.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal pipe size.
- Use with compatible Schedule 40 PVC pipe.
- Keep joining surfaces clean and completely dry.
- Verify proper Pipe O.D. and Pipe I.D. spigot orientation.
- Follow Spears® solvent-cement joining and cure requirements before service.
Our GetPipe.com Team can help confirm the correct pipe size, Schedule 40 compatibility, Pipe O.D. Spigot x Pipe I.D. Spigot configuration, and repair requirements before you order.
