PVC Products

From couplings, elbows, tees, adapters and unions to P-traps, cleanouts, caps and condensate accessories, our PVC selection keeps installs and repairs straightforward. DIY-capable homeowners, licensed contractors, property managers and light commercial users will find parts sized for common HVAC condensate drains and vent terminations. Choose Schedule 40 slip or threaded options to match existing lines, with components starting around $1 and bundle-friendly kits up to about $144 for larger jobs.

Use these parts to replace cracked condensate lines, add cleanouts for maintenance, reroute drains from air handlers or furnaces, and finish vent or drain connections. The assortment suits mini-splits, central AC, heat pump air handlers and condensing furnaces. Typical condensate drains use 3/4 inch PVC, while some applications or codes may call for 1 inch or larger-always verify your local requirements.

These components do not affect SEER2 ratings, BTU output, tonnage, or refrigerant type. PVC fittings handle condensate water only and are system-agnostic, working with any brand or efficiency level. They are not voltage- or refrigerant-carrying components; for slip joints, use primer and solvent cement as required by local code, and thread sealant on NPT connections.
