This fitting connects a socket-end pipe or fitting to a male-threaded port, serving as a transition point in pressure-rated PVC piping runs. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making this adapter suitable for demanding chemical process, industrial, and water treatment applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting as part of larger PVC piping assemblies where chemical resistance and long service life are priorities over metal alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is suited for use in industrial process piping, chemical handling systems, irrigation infrastructure, and potable water distribution where PVC Schedule 80 fittings are specified. The 2.5-inch size fits into mid-range piping runs common in light industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and municipal water systems. It is listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International for use with potable water, expanding its range of approved applications beyond strictly industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 PVC construction provides higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40 for demanding service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion throughout service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutstanding chemical resistance to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNSF and CSA International listed for potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLower material weight than metal alternatives with reduced environmental impact during production\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSocket x Male configuration allows transition between solvent-weld pipe connections and threaded ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in 2.5-inch PVC Schedule 80 piping systems.

Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before making any connections. The socket end requires approved PVC solvent cement applied per the cement manufacturer's instructions and ASTM D2564 guidelines. Do not apply pipe thread sealant or excessive torque to PVC male threads, as overtightening can crack the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: Schedule 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Socket x Male\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: NSF listed, CSA International listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: IPEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36426\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IPEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51468201591090,"sku":"36426","price":24.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/313946278.jpg?v=1783914290","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ipex-36426-pvc-sch-80-socket-x-male-adapter-2-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
