CPVC Pipe Fitting Adapter, Schedule 80, 1-1/4 Socket x NPT Female by Spears Manufacturing

The Spears 835-C series schedule 80 CPVC adapter is designed to connect pipes or fittings with different end types. It features a socket opening on one end and female NPT threads on the other, allowing for the connection of two pipes with different ends. The socket end is designed to connect to pipes with a smooth bore to enhance flow, while the National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tighter seal than straight threads.

Constructed of medium gray CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride), this adapter offers chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and better resistance to high temperatures and pressures compared to PVC (polyvinyl chloride). This makes it suitable for use in both hot and cold water pressure distribution systems in residential and commercial applications. CPVC can also be connected to other materials, such as steel or copper, using transition fittings.

With a maximum operating temperature of 200 degrees F, this adapter meets ASTM International D1784 and F439 standards for quality assurance, is certified by National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service, and is American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Type Approved for marine and offshore applications. It is suitable for connecting pipes for conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in a range of industries.

Pipe fittings are vital components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in a variety of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Spears Manufacturing, a company founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
