Pro-source 852-020 Pvc Pipe Flange 2in Schedule 80 Fipt

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 852-020 is a one-piece PVC pipe flange designed for use in Schedule 80 piping systems with female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connections. This fitting provides a secure, leak-resistant interface between a pipe run and a mating flange surface, allowing for bolted connections at equipment, valves, or transitions. PVC construction makes it well suited for corrosive-fluid handling and chemical process applications where metal fittings are not appropriate. At 1.73 pounds, it is lightweight enough for easy single-technician handling. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of component in commercial and industrial piping systems.

This flange is used in PVC Schedule 80 piping installations in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Common applications include chemical feed systems, water treatment equipment connections, pool and spa plumbing, and irrigation infrastructure where a bolted flange joint is required. The FIPT connection threads directly onto a male-threaded pipe end, making field assembly straightforward without specialized tooling beyond thread sealant and a pipe wrench.

Key Features

• One-piece PVC construction for corrosion resistance in chemical and water service
• Schedule 80 rated for higher pressure service compared to Schedule 40 fittings
• FIPT end connection threads onto standard male NPT pipe ends
• 2-inch fitting size suits a wide range of mid-size piping runs
• Lightweight at 1.73 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using standard NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes, including the International Plumbing Code (IPC) where adopted. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before removing any existing fittings or beginning installation. Apply a compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads before engaging the FIPT connection, and do not over-torque the joint, as PVC threads can crack under excessive force. Torque the flange bolts evenly in a cross pattern to ensure a uniform gasket seal at the mating face.
