Value Collection 8171-015C Cpvc Tank Adapter 1-1/2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 8171-015C is a 1-1/2 inch Schedule 80 CPVC tank adapter fitting designed to connect a pipe system to a threaded tank or vessel port. It features a slip socket on one end and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the other, allowing a solvent-welded CPVC pipe to transition directly to a threaded connection. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure and impact resistance compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for demanding plumbing and fluid-handling applications. Plumbers and pipe fitters install this fitting where a CPVC pipe run terminates at a tank, reservoir, or similar threaded port.

This tank adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, chemical handling lines, and water treatment installations where CPVC is the specified pipe material. The FIPT end threads onto a male-threaded tank stub-out, while the slip socket end accepts a standard 1-1/2 inch CPVC pipe for solvent cementing. It is commonly used in pool and spa equipment plumbing, pressure tanks, and chemical dosing systems where corrosion resistance and schedule 80 strength are required.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 CPVC construction for higher pressure and impact resistance than Schedule 40
• Slip x FIPT end connections for solvent-weld pipe to threaded tank port transition
• 1-1/2 inch fitting size compatible with standard 1-1/2 inch CPVC pipe
• CPVC material offers strong resistance to corrosion and a wide range of chemicals
• Compact single-piece fitting reduces potential leak points at tank connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems using 1-1/2 inch pipe with standard FIPT tank or vessel connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipe fitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for CPVC solvent cementing. Shut off all fluid supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work. Use a CPVC-rated primer and solvent cement on the slip socket end; do not use PVC-only cement on CPVC fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for plastic fittings on the FIPT threads before making the tank connection.
