Value Collection 8172-025C Cpvc Tank Adapter 2-1/2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 8172-025C is a Schedule 80 CPVC tank adapter fitting designed to create a secure threaded connection between piping systems and tank outlets or inlets. Sized at 2-1/2 inches with female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on both ends, this adapter handles the demands of industrial and commercial plumbing installations where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. CPVC construction provides chemical resistance beyond standard PVC, making it appropriate for hot and cold water systems as well as certain chemical handling applications. Plumbers and pipefitters rely on this fitting for tank hook-up work across a range of facility types.

This tank adapter is suited for use in commercial plumbing, industrial process piping, and water treatment installations. The FIPT x FIPT configuration allows it to thread directly onto tank bosses or spuds on one end and accept a male-threaded pipe or fitting on the other. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure capability and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40 fittings of the same size. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers in systems that require a reliable, leak-resistant connection at the tank interface.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 CPVC construction for elevated pressure and temperature tolerance
• 2-1/2 inch fitting size for larger-diameter tank connections
• FIPT x FIPT end connections for threaded assembly without solvent welding at the joint interface
• CPVC material resists corrosion, scaling, and many chemical solutions
• Suitable for hot and cold water as well as select chemical handling applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems requiring a 2-1/2 inch threaded tank connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use thread sealant tape or compound rated for CPVC and the specific media being handled. Avoid over-tightening FIPT connections on CPVC fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
