Spears Schedule 80 PVC Reducing Female Adapter, Socket x FPT

Spears Schedule 80 PVC Reducing Female Adapter, Socket x FPT

The Spears Schedule 80 PVC Reducing Female Adapter, Socket x FPT, is engineered for dependable, code-compliant transitions in pressure-rated PVC piping systems. Molded from heavy-wall Schedule 80 PVC, this reducing female adapter connects a socket-end pipe run down to a smaller female threaded (FPT) port, making it well suited for pump connections, valve hookups, gauge and instrument tie-ins, and other threaded transitions where a reduction in port size is required. Available in a range of reducing sizes to accommodate varying pipe diameters, it delivers the pressure capacity, corrosion resistance, and long service life PVC is known for in demanding plumbing, irrigation, and industrial process applications.

Key Features

• Reducing Configuration: Female adapter steps down from a larger socket connection to a smaller female threaded (FPT) port, simplifying transitions between pipe sizes and threaded components.
• Schedule 80 Construction: Heavy-wall Schedule 80 PVC provides increased pressure capacity and wall thickness compared to Schedule 40, supporting demanding pressure-piping applications.
• Socket x FPT Connection: The socket end solvent-welds directly to PVC pipe, while the female threaded (FPT) end accepts male-threaded nipples, valves, pumps, and other equipment connections.
• Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: PVC construction resists rust, corrosion, and chemical attack that commonly degrade metallic fittings in industrial and municipal piping systems.
• Lightweight, Job-Site Friendly: Significantly lighter than metal alternatives, reducing installer fatigue and simplifying handling, cutting, and solvent-welding in the field.
• Dimensional Consistency: Manufactured to standard PVC fitting dimensions for reliable fit-up with compatible Schedule 80 PVC pipe and threaded components.
