Spears 474-010BC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a Spears 474-010BC insert x socket adapter actually connect?
The Spears 474-010BC joins insert-style pipe on one end to socket-style PVC pipe, fittings, or conduit on the other. The insert end goes into flexible insert-fitting pipe, and the socket end is solvent-welded to standard Schedule 40 socket pipe or fittings. It saves you from stacking a coupling plus an adapter to bridge the two connection styles, which is one less joint to leak.
2) Is the socket end of the Spears 474 adapter solvent welded or threaded?
Solvent welded. The socket side is a plain PVC socket that takes primer and cement, not pipe threads, so there is no tape or dope involved on that end. The insert side is a barbed insert connection into insert-fitting pipe, typically secured with a clamp. Plan for cure time on the cemented joint before pressurizing.
3) Can I use a Schedule 40 PVC insert x socket adapter with Schedule 80 pipe?
The 474-010BC is sized and rated to Schedule 40. Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC share the same outside diameter at a given trade size, so a 1 inch Schedule 80 pipe will physically enter the socket, but the fitting itself is a Schedule 40 fitting and should be specified against Schedule 40 system requirements. For a Schedule 80 system, spec a Schedule 80 fitting instead.
4) Is the 474-010BC suitable for irrigation and buried water lines?
Yes. Irrigation and water distribution are listed applications for the Spears 474-010BC, and the insert x socket layout is exactly what an irrigation crew needs where flexible insert pipe meets a rigid Schedule 40 PVC main or manifold. The PVC body resists corrosion and chemical exposure in buried and wet service.
5) What is the manufacturer part number for the Spears 1 inch insert by socket adapter?
Order it as Spears 474-010BC. The 474 prefix is the insert x socket adapter, and 010 is the 1 inch trade size. That is the number to put on a purchase order or a submittal.
6) Do I need anything else to install the Spears 474-010BC?
The adapter ships as the fitting alone. You will need PVC primer and solvent cement for the socket joint, and a hose or gear clamp to secure the insert end onto the insert-fitting pipe. Nothing in the fitting itself is supplied for either connection.
7) Can this adapter be used on PVC electrical conduit as well as plumbing pipe?
Spears lists PVC pipe and conduit transition points among the uses for the 474-010BC, and the socket is sized to standard Schedule 40. That covers raceway work where a socket-style Schedule 40 PVC run needs to pick up an insert connection. Conduit runs still have to satisfy whatever the electrical inspector requires for the raceway system as a whole.
