Dura Plastic PVC80ADSFIP12 Pvc Sch 80 Male Adapter 1/2 in

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC PVC80ADSFIP12 is a Schedule 80 PVC male adapter fitting designed to transition between a spigot (plain end) connection and a female iron pipe thread (IPT) port. Built from rigid PVC, this fitting handles the higher-pressure demands associated with Schedule 80 wall thickness, making it suitable for industrial, commercial, and demanding residential plumbing and process piping systems. The 1/2 inch size covers a common branch and service line diameter. Plumbers and pipefitters install this adapter wherever a cemented PVC run must connect to a threaded female port on a valve, pump, manifold, or equipment fitting.

This fitting is used in cold and ambient-temperature water systems, irrigation, chemical distribution lines, and industrial process piping where Schedule 80 PVC is specified for added pressure capacity and impact resistance compared to Schedule 40. The spigot end cements directly into a Schedule 80 socket fitting or valve body, while the male threaded end engages a female NPT or IPT port. It is a standard component in new construction and retrofit installations across light commercial and industrial settings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides greater wall thickness and higher pressure rating than Schedule 40
• Spigot end accepts standard PVC solvent cement for a permanent, leak-free bond
• Male iron pipe thread (IPT) end connects to female-threaded valves, pumps, and equipment ports
• 1/2 inch nominal size suits common branch lines and service connections
• Resistant to corrosion, scale, and a broad range of chemicals found in plumbing and process applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 1/2 inch spigot and female iron pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into an existing line. The spigot end requires proper PVC primer and solvent cement applied per the cement manufacturer's instructions before insertion; do not skip the primer step on Schedule 80 fittings. Allow full cure time before returning the system to service and pressure-testing the joint.
