"UPC-PW" in the context of PVC fittings typically refers to the Uniform Plumbing Code - Pressure Water rating or classification. Here's what it means:

  • UPC: The Uniform Plumbing Code is a model code developed by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO). It sets standards for plumbing products, installation, and inspection to ensure safety and performance.
  • PW: Usually stands for Pressure Water, indicating the fitting is rated for use in potable (drinking) water pressure systems.

So, UPC-PW on a PVC fitting means the fitting complies with the Uniform Plumbing Code standards and is approved for use in potable pressure water systems. This certification ensures the fitting meets specific performance, material safety, and durability criteria for safe drinking water applications.
