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.

Spears 835-010 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do I transition a solvent-weld PVC line to a threaded valve without using a metal fitting?
That is exactly what the Spears 835 female adapter does. The socket end cements to the PVC pipe, and the female pipe thread end receives a male-threaded valve, gauge, meter, or equipment nipple. The whole run stays PVC, so you avoid the corrosion and dissimilar-material issues that come with dropping a brass or steel adapter into a chemical or wastewater line.
2) Will a 1 inch Spears 835-010 socket end fit over 1 inch PVC pipe, or do I need a bushing?
No bushing needed. The socket on the 835-010 is sized for standard 1 inch PVC pipe OD and joins with ordinary PVC solvent cement. The 2 inch 835-020 works the same way on 2 inch pipe. Note the socket is sized to pipe OD, not to a thread, so do not try to thread anything into it.
3) Does the threaded end of the Spears 835 take a male thread or a female thread?
The 835 is a female adapter: the threaded end is FPT, so it receives a male pipe thread. If you need the opposite, a spigot or socket end with male threads going into a female port, you want a male adapter instead of this one.
4) What sizes does the Spears Schedule 80 PVC female adapter come in?
Two trade sizes: 1 inch (part 835-010) and 2 inch (part 835-020). Both are socket by FPT, so the socket end solvent-welds to PVC pipe of that same trade size and the threaded end takes a male pipe thread.
5) Schedule 80 or Schedule 40 female adapter - which should I use?
The Spears 835 is Schedule 80, with a heavier wall than a Schedule 40 fitting of the same trade size, which gives it more mechanical strength and pressure capability. On a threaded adapter that matters: threads cut into a thinner Schedule 40 wall are the weak point. For industrial, process, and pressure piping, go Schedule 80. For low-pressure drainage or irrigation where you are already running Schedule 40 pipe, Schedule 40 fittings keep the system consistent.
6) Can I use a PVC female adapter on a chemical process or wastewater line?
Yes. The 835 is molded PVC, rigid and resistant to the corrosion and chemical attack that eats metal fittings in wet or chemical-exposure service, and it is called out for chemical processing and wastewater piping as well as industrial and commercial process runs. Match the fluid and temperature to PVC's limits as you would for the rest of the pipe.
7) What else do I need to install a Spears Schedule 80 female adapter?
Plan on PVC primer and solvent cement for the socket joint, and thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male fitting going into the FPT end. The adapter ships as the fitting only, no cement, tape, or gasket. Hand tighten plus a modest turn on threaded plastic; overtightening is the usual cause of a split hub.
