Dura Plastic PVC80ADSMIP212 Male Adapter Sch 80 2.5in

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC PVC80ADSMIP212 is a Schedule 80 PVC male adapter fitting designed to transition between a spigot (slip) socket connection and a male pipe thread (MPT) connection. With a 2.5-inch socket-by-male-thread configuration, this fitting is built for pressure-rated systems where standard Schedule 40 fittings are not adequate. Schedule 80 PVC offers greater wall thickness and higher pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for demanding fluid-handling applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of adapter when connecting PVC pipe runs to threaded metal or plastic components such as valves, pumps, or equipment ports.

This fitting is commonly used in industrial, commercial, and residential plumbing systems, as well as chemical processing lines, irrigation infrastructure, and pool or spa mechanical rooms. The spigot end accepts standard PVC solvent-weld cement for a permanent, leak-resistant bond to Schedule 80 pipe. The male threaded end connects to any corresponding female-threaded fitting or equipment port of the same nominal pipe size. Installers working on recirculation systems, filter manifolds, or pump discharge lines will encounter this configuration frequently.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides increased wall thickness and higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• 2.5-inch spigot (S) inlet accepts solvent-weld cement for a permanent bond to PVC pipe
• Male pipe thread (MPT) outlet transitions to threaded valves, pumps, or equipment connections
• PVC material offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of fluids
• Standard socket and thread dimensions conform to ASTM and NSF sizing conventions for PVC fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 2.5-inch nominal pipe size with socket and male pipe thread end connections.

Installation Notes

This fitting should be installed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM D2467 standards for Schedule 80 PVC socket fittings. Before installation, shut off system pressure and drain the line completely. Use only PVC solvent cement rated for Schedule 80 fittings on the spigot end, and apply PTFE tape or an appropriate thread sealant on the MPT end before threading into the mating fitting. Do not over-torque the threaded connection, as PVC threads can crack under excessive force.
