2 inch PVC Schedule 40 Pressure Adapter Plastic x Male

2 inch PVC Male Adapter – Threaded Transition for Schedule 40 Systems

This 2-inch PVC Male Adapter is designed for transitioning from solvent-welded pipe to threaded connections in non-pressurized and pressurized Schedule 40 systems. Manufactured from rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) conforming to ASTM standards, it is suitable for a variety of plumbing and irrigation applications.

It features a socket (slip) connection on one end for solvent cement welding to PVC pipe and a male NPT thread on the other end for joining to female-threaded fittings or valves. This fitting is commonly used to make threaded terminations in systems where disassembly or threaded equipment interfaces are required.

Performance Features

• ✅ Material Specification – Fabricated from Schedule 40 PVC compound, typically meeting ASTM D2466 and NSF 14/61 for potable water use.
• ✅ Thread Integrity – Machined NPT threads provide a reliable seal when installed with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape.
• ✅ Temperature Rating – Typically suitable for use up to 140°F (60°C) in pressurized systems; confirm based on system parameters.
• ✅ Pressure Compatibility – Rated for use in systems up to the pressure limitations of Schedule 40 pipe when properly installed.
• ✅ Corrosion-Resistant – PVC resists internal scaling and external environmental degradation, including exposure to moisture and most soil conditions.

Installation Notes

This fitting should be installed per applicable plumbing or mechanical codes. The slip end requires solvent welding using compatible PVC primer and cement. The male-threaded end should be hand-tightened and then secured with a wrench to specification—overtightening may lead to stress cracking. Thread sealing compound or tape should be used to prevent leakage.

Common Applications

Frequently used in irrigation systems, vent and waste plumbing, pool and spa systems, and other applications requiring the transition between solvent-welded pipe and threaded components. Not intended for use with compressed air or gas systems.
