Pro-source 90380900409 Pvc Female Adapter 1.5in Sch 80

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 90380900409 is a Schedule 80 PVC female adapter sized at 1-1/2 inches, designed to transition between a plain-end pipe and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connection. The slip inlet accepts unthreaded PVC pipe via solvent cement, while the FIPT outlet threads onto a male-threaded fitting or valve. Schedule 80 wall thickness makes this adapter suitable for higher-pressure service compared to Schedule 40 fittings. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of adapter wherever a PVC pipe run must terminate at a threaded port, such as a pump inlet, valve body, or threaded tank connection.

This adapter fits residential and light commercial plumbing systems, irrigation lines, pool and spa piping, and industrial fluid-handling applications where PVC is the specified material. It is commonly installed at pump suctions, filter manifolds, and chemical feed points. The 1-1/2 inch size is standard across pool circulation, drain, waste, and vent configurations, as well as many irrigation zone valves. A licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter handles installation in pressurized systems. Always verify local code acceptance of Schedule 80 PVC for the intended service.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased pressure and impact resistance over Schedule 40
• Slip inlet accepts 1-1/2 inch plain-end PVC pipe with solvent cement joint
• FIPT outlet threads onto standard male NPT fittings, valves, and equipment ports
• Suitable for pool, spa, irrigation, and general plumbing piping systems
• Single-piece molded PVC body with no metal components to corrode

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for 1-1/2 inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using slip-to-female-iron-pipe-thread transitions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for solvent-cemented PVC joints. Depressurize and drain the system fully before cutting into any existing piping. Use a PVC-rated primer and solvent cement appropriate for Schedule 80 pipe; allow full cure time before returning the system to service. Do not over-torque the FIPT connection, as PVC threads can crack under excessive force.
