Spears 836-005 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do the two ends of the Spears 836 male adapter connect?
One end is a male pipe thread (MPT) and the other is a socket. The threaded end screws into a female threaded port or fitting; the socket end takes PVC pipe of the same nominal size and is solvent welded. So it's the piece you use when a threaded connection has to carry over into a glued PVC run.
2) Is a PVC male adapter suitable for hot water lines?
No. The Spears 836 adapter is PVC, which is for cold water and ambient-temperature fluid service only. For hot water or elevated-temperature process lines, use a CPVC fitting instead. PVC's strength here is corrosion resistance in water, irrigation, chemical processing and water treatment piping, not heat.
3) Can I thread a Schedule 80 PVC male adapter into a metal female fitting?
Yes, the MPT end is standard NPT pipe thread, so it will screw into a metal or plastic female NPT port. Use PTFE tape or a thread sealant rated for plastic and hand tighten plus one to two turns with a strap wrench only. Plastic male threads into metal female threads are the joint most likely to crack from overtightening, so never wrench it like steel pipe.
4) What is the difference between Schedule 80 and Schedule 40 PVC fittings on the same pipe size?
Schedule 80 uses a heavier wall than Schedule 40 at the same nominal size, which gives a higher pressure rating but a smaller inside diameter. Outside diameters match, so Schedule 80 fittings like the Spears 836 series still bond to Schedule 40 pipe of the same size, and the system is then limited by the weaker component. Schedule 80 is also the usual spec for industrial and chemical piping.
5) Do I need primer and cement for the socket end of a Schedule 80 PVC adapter?
The socket end is a solvent weld joint, so it needs PVC primer and PVC solvent cement. Neither is supplied with the fitting, and for Schedule 80 in larger sizes like the 2 inch and 3 inch adapters use a heavy-bodied cement. The threaded end takes thread sealant or tape instead, never cement.
6) Can I use a Spears 836 male adapter on a buried irrigation main?
Yes, irrigation and agricultural piping is one of its stated uses, along with municipal water and commercial plumbing. The Schedule 80 wall holds up to the pressures typical of mainline work, and the MPT end lets you tie into threaded valves and risers. PVC should still be protected from sunlight where it comes above grade.
