Spears 836 CPVC Schedule 80 Male Adapter, MPT x Socket
The Spears 836 CPVC Schedule 80 Male Adapter is engineered for chemical-resistant piping systems that demand a secure, code-compliant transition between threaded and solvent-weld connections. Molded from CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) and rated to Schedule 80 wall thickness, this male adapter provides an MPT (Male Pipe Thread) x SOC (Socket) configuration, making it straightforward to join threaded fittings, valves, pumps, or equipment ports to solvent-welded CPVC pipe runs. This size family is available in 1/2", 3/4", 1", and 1-1/2" trade sizes, giving designers and installers a consistent, corrosion-resistant transition fitting across a wide range of process piping, hot-water distribution, and industrial fluid-handling applications where chemical resistance and pressure integrity matter most.
Key Features
- Trade Size: Available in 1/2", 3/4", 1", and 1-1/2" sizes to fit a wide variety of CPVC pipe runs and system layouts.
- Durable Construction: Molded from CPVC for excellent chemical and corrosion resistance in demanding piping environments, including hot-water and process lines.
- Schedule 80 Wall Thickness: Heavier Schedule 80 wall rating supports higher pressure ratings than standard Schedule 40 fittings of the same size.
- MPT x Socket Connection: Male threaded (MPT) end pairs with a solvent-weld socket (SOC) end, simplifying transitions between threaded components and welded pipe runs.
- Male Adapter Design: Provides a straightforward way to terminate CPVC pipe into threaded valves, pumps, tanks, and other equipment connections.
- Spears Quality: Manufactured by Spears, a recognized supplier of PVC and CPVC fittings for plumbing and industrial piping systems.

Spears 836-005C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Schedule 80 CPVC male adapter fit Schedule 40 CPVC pipe?
Yes on the socket side. Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 share the same outside diameter at a given nominal size, so a Schedule 80 socket accepts Schedule 40 pipe of the same size. What changes is wall thickness: Schedule 80 is heavier, which is why it carries a higher pressure rating than Schedule 40. The system is still limited by the lowest rated component in it, so a Schedule 80 fitting on Schedule 40 pipe gives you Schedule 40 pressure.
2) Which end threads and which end glues on this Spears male adapter?
The male pipe thread (MPT) end screws into a female threaded port, and the socket end takes solvent cement over the outside of the CPVC pipe. So you thread into the valve, pump, tank port, or meter, and cement the other end onto the pipe run. Wrap the male threads with PTFE tape or use a thread sealant compatible with CPVC, and hand tighten plus one to two turns only. Overtightening a plastic male thread into a metal female port is the number one way these split.
3) Can I use CPVC cement and PVC cement interchangeably on this fitting?
No. The adapter is molded CPVC, and it needs a CPVC-listed solvent cement, not standard PVC cement. Use CPVC primer (or a one-step CPVC cement where the local code permits it) and a CPVC cement. PVC cement on a CPVC joint is not a rated bond.
4) What do I use to go from CPVC pipe into a threaded valve or pump port?
That's exactly the job this adapter does. Cement the socket end onto your CPVC pipe, then thread the MPT end into the female port on the valve, pump, tank, or piece of equipment. If the equipment port is male instead of female, you want a female adapter (FPT x socket), not this one.
5) Why choose a Schedule 80 CPVC adapter over Schedule 40 for a threaded connection?
Threading is the weak point in any plastic line, because cutting or molding a thread reduces the effective wall. Schedule 80's heavier wall gives you more material at the thread and a higher pressure rating than Schedule 40. That's why industrial and process piping specs generally call out Schedule 80 anywhere the run transitions to thread. If you're on a low pressure cold water branch, Schedule 40 will usually do; on chemical process, hot water distribution, or anything with pump pulsation, stay with Schedule 80.
6) Can I run hot water through a CPVC male adapter, or do I need to use metal there?
CPVC is the reason to pick this over PVC. The material holds up at hot water distribution temperatures where PVC does not, and hot and cold water distribution is one of its stated applications. For a threaded joint into a metal fitting, use a CPVC compatible thread sealant rather than a hard-setting pipe dope, and allow for thermal movement in the run so the thread isn't taking expansion load.
7) Is this a chemical-resistant fitting for process piping?
CPVC is specified for chemical processing and industrial piping and for corrosion-resistant fluid handling, which is where this adapter is meant to live. Chemical resistance is fluid-specific, so check the particular chemical, concentration, and temperature against a CPVC resistance chart before you commit a system to it.
8) Where can I get the full Spears Schedule 80 CPVC fitting dimensions?
Spears publishes a CPVC Schedule 80 fittings document covering the series, and it's linked with the product data at zensupply.com/content/pdf/spears/cpvc-schedule-80-fittings.pdf. That's where to confirm laying lengths, socket depths, and pressure ratings by size before you fabricate.
