Value Collection 435-080 Pvc Female Adapter 8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 435-080 is an 8-inch Schedule 40 PVC female adapter designed to transition between plain-end pipe and female-threaded fittings in low-pressure piping systems. The slip inlet accepts plain PVC pipe with solvent-cement bonding, while the female iron pipe thread (FIPT) outlet connects to male-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports. At 3.88 pounds, this is a heavy-duty single fitting suited for water supply, drain, irrigation, and industrial process lines where a reliable pipe-to-thread transition is needed. Plumbers and pipefitters install this adapter when converting a glued PVC run into a threaded connection point.

This adapter is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation mainlines, pool and spa plumbing, and industrial fluid-handling systems that use 8-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe. The Schedule 40 wall thickness rating makes it compatible with standard working pressures for PVC piping at this diameter. It is commonly installed at pump inlet flanges, valve manifolds, and equipment connections where a solvent-cemented pipe run terminates in a threaded port.

Key Features

• 8-inch fitting size accommodates large-diameter Schedule 40 PVC pipe runs
• Slip x FIPT end connections allow solvent-cement pipe entry and male-thread engagement on the outlet
• Schedule 40 PVC construction resists corrosion and is suitable for water and many chemical service applications
• Single-piece molded body with no mechanical joints to loosen over time
• Lightweight relative to metal alternatives, simplifying handling during large-diameter pipe installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 8-inch Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using standard Slip x FIPT configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before cutting or disassembling any section. The slip end requires proper PVC primer and solvent cement applied per the cement manufacturer instructions; allow full cure time before pressurizing. Thread the FIPT outlet onto male-threaded components with an appropriate thread sealant tape or compound rated for PVC use, and do not over-tighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.
