Pro-source 90380900009 Pvc Female Adapter Sch 80 1/2 in

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 90380900009 is a Schedule 80 PVC female adapter designed to transition between a slip socket end and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end in a half-inch pipe line. Schedule 80 PVC carries a heavier wall thickness than Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure liquid handling systems where added strength is required. This fitting is installed by plumbers and pipefitters working on industrial process lines, chemical distribution systems, and commercial plumbing applications where corrosion resistance and pressure rating matter.

This female adapter is used where a plain-end PVC pipe must be joined to a male-threaded component such as a valve, pump port, or threaded nipple. The slip end accepts a half-inch PVC pipe with solvent cement, while the FIPT end threads onto a half-inch male NPT fitting. It is commonly found in irrigation manifolds, water treatment systems, and light industrial fluid handling installations.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides greater wall thickness and pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40
• Slip x FIPT end connections allow direct bonding to pipe on one end and threaded makeup on the other
• PVC material resists corrosion, scale, and most common chemicals encountered in water and process piping
• Compact half-inch size fits standard residential and commercial piping configurations
• Lightweight at 0.27 pounds, reducing stress on adjacent fittings in overhead or cantilevered runs

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Depressurize and drain the system completely before cutting into an existing line. The slip end requires approved PVC solvent cement applied per the cement manufacturer and local plumbing code requirements such as the IPC. Thread the FIPT end onto a male NPT fitting using PTFE tape or thread sealant rated for PVC; do not overtighten threaded joints as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.
