PVC Pipe Fitting Adapter 1/2 Socket x NPT Female

The Spears 835 series schedule 80 PVC adapter is designed with a socket opening on one end and female NPT threads on the other, making it suitable for connecting pipes or fittings with different end types. The socket end is designed to connect to pipes with a smooth bore for enhanced flow, while the National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tighter seal than straight threads. Constructed of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this adapter offers chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter weight than metal fittings. It is compatible with schedule 80 (thick wall) PVC pipes and fittings, and 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. Transition fittings can also be used to connect PVC to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron.

With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, this schedule 80 PVC adapter meets ASTM International D1784 and D2467 standards for quality assurance, and is certified by National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. It is suitable for connecting pipes for conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in a range of industries.

Pipe fittings play an important role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it's important to consider the specific application, as this will impact the 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, 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.

In conclusion, the Spears 835 series schedule 80 PVC adapter offers a reliable and versatile solution for connecting pipes or fittings with different end types, ensuring a tight seal, high strength, and chemical resistance for a wide range of applications.
