Bidding a job & need contractor pricing?
We've got you covered!

Schedule 80 PVC male adapters are plumbing components with two different ends used to connect Schedule 80 PVC pipe or fittings with differing connection types. Schedule 80 PVC male adapters can be used to transition between pipe types or connect to female threaded or socketed components such as valves, pumps, or other equipment. Sch 80 PVC adapter fittings are made from premium PVC to Schedule 80 standards for thicker walls and better durability than Schedule 40 PVC adapters. Their engineering makes these adapters well-suited for higher pressure applications and more durable against chemical corrosion resistance. Common applications for Schedule 80 PVC male adapter fittings include industrial piping systems, chemical processing facilities, water treatment plants, and irrigation systems. Schedule 80 male adapters are preferred in scenarios where the piping system requires durability, corrosion resistance, and the ability to handle substantial pressure.
Sch 80 PVC Male Adapter Sizes and Options
Sch 80 PVC male adapter sizes range from 1/2" to 4” in diameter. Male adapters are designed with a combination socket x MPT connection. They have a slip socket end and a male threaded end for connecting two different plumbing component types.
Quality and Safety Standards
Our Schedule 80 PVC male adapters are made in the USA and engineered for superior performance and safety, adhering to ASTM D1784, ASTM D2464/2467, and NSF industry standards. The requirements of ASTM D1784 ensure the quality and uniformity of the PVC material, and ASTM D2464/2467 standards cover the fitting’s dimensions, connections, and pressure ratings for Schedule 80 plumbing applications. Our PVC pipe fitting adapters are NSF certified and safe for potable water systems.
PVC is resistant to many chemicals and corrosive materials. This resistance makes Sch 80 PVC adapters suitable for many industrial and chemical handling applications. For chemical plumbing systems and conveyance, always verify chemical compatibility before use.
