Spears 8170-020 2" PVC Tank Adapter, Socket x Socket with Neoprene Gasket

The Spears 8170-020 is a 2" PVC Tank Adapter built for connecting tanks, vessels, and containment equipment into a PVC piping system. This fitting uses Socket x Socket (SOCxSOC) connections on both ends and ships with a Neoprene gasket to create a tight, leak-resistant seal at the tank bulkhead penetration. Molded from PVC, the 8170-020 is corrosion-resistant and well suited to water, chemical, and general industrial fluid-handling applications where a dependable tank-to-pipe transition is required.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 2" adapter sized for standard 2" PVC piping runs and matching tank bulkhead openings.
• Durable Construction: Molded PVC body resists corrosion, rust, and chemical attack far better than metallic alternatives, extending service life in wet and industrial environments.
• Socket x Socket Connection: SOCxSOC ends allow the adapter to be solvent-welded directly into 2" PVC pipe on both sides for a permanent, leak-tight joint.
• Neoprene Gasket Included: The included Neoprene gasket seats against the tank wall to seal the bulkhead penetration and prevent leaks at the tank connection point.
• Tank Adapter Design: Purpose-built to pass a PVC line through a tank, drum, or vessel wall while maintaining a secure, code-compliant seal.
• Lightweight, Easy Installation: PVC construction keeps the fitting light and easy to handle, position, and solvent-weld in the field compared to metal tank fittings.
