Spears 54211191644 Pvc Female Adapter Sch 40 2-1/2 in

Product Description

The SPEARS 54211191644 is a Schedule 40 PVC female adapter designed to transition between threaded and socket pipe connections in a 2-1/2 inch size. It provides a female threaded end on one side and a socket end on the other, allowing a plain-end pipe to be joined to a male-threaded fitting or fixture. Schedule 40 wall thickness makes this adapter suitable for standard-pressure water and fluid piping systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in a wide range of commercial and residential applications where a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection is required.

This female adapter is used in water supply, irrigation, pool and spa plumbing, and general-purpose fluid handling systems where PVC pipe is the material of choice. The 2-1/2 inch size fits common main-line and distribution runs found in commercial buildings, municipal service connections, and pool equipment pads. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable local plumbing codes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into any existing system. Use a proper PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 40 fittings on the socket end, and apply PTFE thread tape or pipe-thread sealant on the threaded connection. Allow solvent-weld joints to cure fully before pressurizing the system.
