Value Collection 435-025 Pvc Female Adapter 2.5 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 435-025 is a Schedule 40 PVC female adapter designed to transition between a slip socket connection and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connection in plastic piping systems. At 2.5 inches in size, this fitting handles the mechanical and pressure demands typical of Schedule 40 applications in water distribution, irrigation, and general plumbing lines. The PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical degradation, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of fluid-handling installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of adapter where a plain pipe end must be joined to a threaded female port on valves, pumps, or other threaded components.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, pool and spa plumbing, irrigation manifolds, and industrial fluid lines where PVC Schedule 40 pipe is specified. The slip inlet accepts a standard 2.5-inch PVC pipe end with solvent-weld cement, while the FIPT outlet threads onto a male-threaded fitting or equipment port. It is a single-piece, one-package quantity fitting appropriate for point repairs and new construction alike.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 pressure rating suitable for standard residential and commercial plumbing service
• Slip x FIPT end connections allow solvent-weld pipe entry with a threaded equipment or valve exit
• PVC material provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with a broad range of water and chemical services
• 2.5-inch fitting size for larger-diameter piping runs and flow-sensitive applications
• Lightweight construction at 0.9 pounds simplifies handling during overhead or confined-space installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using 2.5-inch pipe with slip x female iron pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before cutting into any existing piping. Use a compatible PVC solvent-weld cement and primer on the slip end, and apply thread-seal tape or compound on the FIPT threads before making up the joint. Allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer instructions before returning the system to pressure.
