Schedule 80 PVC Female Adapters
Bidding a job & need contractor pricing?
We've got you covered!

Schedule 80 PVC female adapters are pipe fittings with two distinct ends used to seamlessly connect Schedule 80 PVC pipes or fittings that have different end connections. These adapters feature one female threaded (FPT) end and one slip socket end to transition plumbing from a socket joint or a male thread connection. Female adapters allow a change in connection types so a Schedule 80 PVC pipe can be joined to a threaded pipe or fitting to expand a plumbing system or connect with certain valves, pumps, or other machinery. Manufactured to meet Schedule 80 standards, heavy duty female adapters feature reinforced walls and superior durability for high pressure applications and chemical resistance compared to Schedule 40 PVC adapters. Schedule 80 female adapters are widely used across industrial piping systems, chemical plants and processing, water treatment facilities, municipal infrastructure, agriculture, irrigation setups, pools, and spas.
Sch 80 PVC Female Adapter Sizes and Options
Fittings are Schedule 80 PVC Socket x FPT adapters and female PVC adapter sizes range from 1/2" to 4” in diameter. Sch 80 PVC female adapters have a slip socket end and a female threaded end for connecting two plumbing components, one with a socket end and one with a male threaded end.
Quality and Safety Standards
Our Schedule 80 PVC female adapters are USA made and engineered for reliable performance and safety. The adapters conform to ASTM D1784, ASTM D2464/2467, and NSF standards and manufacturing specifications. ASTM D1784 standard specifies the acceptable quality of the PVC material used in production. ASTM D2464/2467 standards cover the precise size dimensions, connections, and pressure ratings allowed and approved for Schedule 80 plumbing. Our PVC female adapter fittings are NSF certified to be safe for potable water systems and freshwater applications.
PVC is resistant to many chemicals and corrosive materials. This resistance makes Sch 80 PVC female adapters suitable for many industrial and chemical handling applications. For chemical plumbing systems and conveyance, always verify chemical compatibility before use.
