PVC Pipe Fitting Adapter, Schedule 80, 1/2 Socket x Stainless Steel Reinforced NPT Female

The Spears 835-SR series schedule 80 PVC adapter features a socket opening on one end and reinforced female NPT threads on the other, making it ideal for connecting pipes or fittings with different end types. 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 tight seal that is more secure than straight threads. Additionally, the stainless steel reinforcement on the female NPT end increases the longevity of the fitting.

Constructed of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this adapter offers chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and a lighter weight compared to metal fittings. It is compatible with schedule 80 (thick wall) PVC pipes and fittings, and is suitable for use in chemical processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution, deionized water lines, and chemical drainage and wastewater treatment systems. Transition fittings can 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 adapter meets ASTM International D1784 and D2467 standards for quality assurance, and is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. It is suitable for connecting pipes to convey drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in a range of industries.

Pipe fittings are crucial components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping across a variety of industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will impact the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings come in threaded or unthreaded options, and are available in many 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.

In summary, this adapter is designed for connecting pipes or fittings with different types of ends, featuring a socket opening on one end and reinforced female NPT threads on the other. It is made of PVC with stainless steel reinforcement for strength and resistance to chemicals and corrosion, and meets ASTM D1784 and D2467 standards while being certified by NSF International for potable water service.
