Dura Plastic PVC80ADSFIP3 Schedule 80 Male Adapter 3 in

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC PVC80ADSFIP3 is a 3-inch PVC Schedule 80 male adapter fitting designed to transition from a spigot (plain end) connection to a female NPT threaded connection. Built from rigid PVC, Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure tolerance and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40, making this fitting suitable for industrial, commercial, and demanding residential piping applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this adapter where a cemented pipe run needs to connect to a female-threaded valve, pump, or equipment port.

This fitting is used in pressure piping systems where chemical resistance and durability are required. Common applications include water treatment, irrigation mainlines, industrial process piping, and chemical handling systems where PVC is an approved material. The spigot end is solvent-cemented directly into a socket fitting or fitting body, while the male threads engage a corresponding female NPT port. This adapter is appropriate for above-ground and buried installations per applicable plumbing codes.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• 3-inch spigot end for solvent cement connection to matching socket fittings
• Female NPT thread on mating end for connection to threaded valves, pumps, or equipment
• Chemical-resistant PVC material suitable for a range of industrial fluids
• Heavy-duty wall thickness for added mechanical strength in demanding installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 3-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using solvent-cement socket connections and NPT-threaded components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM D2467 standards for Schedule 80 PVC fittings. Shut off and depressurize the system before cutting into any existing piping. Use only PVC Schedule 80-rated solvent cement and primer on the spigot end, and follow manufacturer cure time requirements before pressurizing. Do not over-torque the threaded connection, as PVC threads are susceptible to cracking under excessive force; use PTFE thread tape to seal the NPT joint.
