Dura Plastic PVC80ADSMIP12 Schedule 80 Male Adapter 1/2 in

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC PVC80ADSMIP12 is a Schedule 80 PVC male adapter fitting designed to transition a socket (slip) connection to a male pipe thread (MPT) connection in a 1/2 inch pipe size. Built from rigid PVC to Schedule 80 pressure ratings, it provides greater wall thickness and impact resistance compared to Schedule 40 fittings. This adapter is installed by licensed plumbers, irrigation technicians, pool and spa service professionals, and industrial maintenance trades wherever a solvent-welded PVC line must connect to a threaded male fitting or valve.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, pool and spa circulation systems, irrigation distribution lines, and industrial fluid-handling applications where Schedule 80 PVC is specified. The socket end accepts 1/2 inch PVC pipe for solvent-cement joining, while the MPT end threads directly into a female-threaded port, valve body, or manifold. It is commonly used at transition points between rigid PVC runs and threaded equipment connections.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction offers increased wall thickness and pressure capability over Schedule 40
• Socket (slip) inlet end accepts 1/2 inch PVC pipe for solvent-cement bonding
• Male pipe thread (MPT) outlet end connects to female-threaded ports, valves, and manifolds
• Rigid PVC material resists corrosion, scale, and most chemicals in standard plumbing service
• Compact adapter profile minimizes added length at transition points

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service fitting for 1/2 inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems in plumbing, pool, irrigation, and industrial fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified trade professional. Shut off system flow and depressurize the line before cutting into any existing piping. The socket end requires proper PVC primer and solvent cement applied per the cement manufacturer instructions and applicable plumbing code, such as the IPC or local adopted standards. Hand-tighten the MPT end into the receiving female thread, then apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for PVC before final tightening to avoid over-torquing and cracking the fitting.
