Meet the Charlotte Pipe Schedule 80 2 in. Slip X 2 in. D FPT PVC Pipe Adapter—the dependable, code‑ready transition you need for demanding piping projects. Crafted in lead‑free PVC and backed by IAPMO certification and NSF listing, this adapter is designed to keep potable water systems safe while delivering solid, leak‑resistant performance.
What it is: A 2-inch slip end partnered with a 2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) end. The Schedule 80 construction provides thicker walls for enhanced durability in pressure applications, making it a reliable choice for above‑ground installations where robustness matters. This single piece is built to handle frequent cycles and mechanical wear without compromising a secure seal.
Why this adapter stands out:
-
Heavy‑duty Schedule 80 PVC—thicker walls than Schedule 40 offer increased strength and abrasion resistance for tough environments.
-
Lead‑free and NSF Listed—ensures suitability for potable water and compliance with safety standards.
-
IAPMO Certified—provides assurance that the part meets plumbing code requirements for reliable, compliant installations.
-
Slip x FPT transition—simplifies connections by bonding the slip end to PVC pipe with solvent cement and threading the other end into compatible male threaded components.
-
Not designed for underground use—clearly labeled for above‑ground applications to help you choose the right part for the job.
-
Sold as a single piece in bulk packaging, ready to drop into your project workflow.
Ideal use cases:
- Connecting a PVC pipe run to equipment or valves that require a 2" male NPT thread
- Potable water supply lines in above‑ground installations, irrigation stations, or hydro‑ponic systems
- Transition fittings in pressure piping where durable, code‑compliant adapters are needed
Installation tips:
- For the slip end, cut the PVC pipe square, dry fit, prime, and solvent‑cement the connection for a solid, airtight seal.
- For the FPT end, ensure threads are clean, apply appropriate thread sealant or licensed PTFE tape, and tighten to fit without forcing the joint.
- Always verify compatibility with your specific system materials and follow local code requirements for potable water installations.
