Spears PVC Schedule 80 Female Adapter, SOC x FPT

Spears 835-010 1" PVC Female Adapter, Schedule 80 SOCxFPT

The Spears 835-010 is a 1" PVC female adapter manufactured from Schedule 80 PVC for rough-in, process, and industrial piping applications. This SOCxFPT fitting features a socket (solvent-weld) connection on one end that joins to 1" PVC pipe, and a female pipe thread (FPT) connection on the opposite end that accepts a male-threaded fitting, valve, or piece of equipment. The heavier Schedule 80 wall thickness gives this adapter more mechanical strength and pressure-handling capability than a comparable Schedule 40 fitting, making it a practical choice anywhere a solvent-weld PVC run needs to transition to a threaded connection point. As a female adapter, the 835-010 lets a plumber or contractor terminate a run of 1" PVC pipe with a threaded female connection ready to receive male-threaded valves, gauges, meters, or other equipment, without introducing a metal fitting into an otherwise all-PVC system.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 1" connection sized for direct use with 1" PVC pipe and fittings.
• Durable Construction: Molded PVC body for a rigid, corrosion- and chemical-resistant fitting.
• Schedule 80 Wall Thickness: Heavier wall construction than Schedule 40 for added mechanical strength in demanding piping applications.
• SOCxFPT Connection: Solvent-weld socket end pairs with a female pipe thread (FPT) end to transition cleanly from solvent-weld PVC to threaded connections.
• Female Adapter Configuration: FPT end accepts a male-threaded fitting, valve, or piece of equipment on the opposite side of the socket weld joint.
• Corrosion Resistant: PVC construction resists the corrosion common to metal fittings in wet or chemical-exposure environments.
• Lightweight Design: PVC construction is lighter than comparable metal adapters, easing handling and installation on the job site.
• Solvent-Weld Compatible: Socket end is sized for standard PVC solvent cement joining to 1" PVC pipe runs.
