PVC Pipe Fitting, Adapter, Schedule 80, 3 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. This configuration is suitable for connecting pipes or fittings with different end types. The socket end is specifically designed for pipes with a smooth bore to enhance 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 in weight compared to metal fittings. It is compatible with schedule 80 (thick wall) PVC pipes and fittings, making it ideal for various applications such as chemical processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution, deionized water lines, and chemical drainage and wastewater treatment systems.

This PVC adapter can also be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, it meets ASTM International D1784 and D2467 standards for quality assurance, and is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service.

In addition to its durability and versatility, the schedule 80 PVC adapter is suitable for connecting pipes used to convey drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids across a range of industries.

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