PVC Pipe Fitting 1/2 Socket x NPT Male

The Spears 836 series schedule 80 PVC adapter is designed with a socket opening on one end and male NPT threads on the other, allowing for the connection of pipes or fittings with different end types. This design provides enhanced flow with the smooth bore of the socket end, while the National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tight seal. Constructed of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this adapter offers chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter than metal fittings.

With compatibility for schedule 80 (thick wall) PVC pipes and fittings, this adapter is suitable for a variety of applications including chemical processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution, deionized water lines, and chemical drainage and wastewater treatment systems. It can also be used to connect PVC to materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, this adapter meets ASTM International D1784 and D2467 standards for quality assurance, and is NSF International certified for potable water service.

This schedule 80 PVC adapter is designed for connecting pipes used to convey drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids across a range of industries. Pipe fittings play a crucial role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping, with considerations for application and material type, shape, size, and required durability impacting the purchasing decision. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Manufactured by Spears Manufacturing, this thermoplastic fitting and valve producer offers solutions for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. Founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, the company meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
