Description
Schedule 80 CPVC Female Adapter (SOC x FPT)
Schedule 80 CPVC Female Adapter (SOC x FPT) provides a transition between compatible CPVC pipe and a male-threaded component. The fitting combines a solvent-cement socket connection with a Female Pipe Thread connection in one compact adapter.
The Schedule 80 CPVC female adapter is designed for piping layouts that require a transition from CPVC pipe to a compatible male-threaded connection. Selection should account for nominal size, socket compatibility, male-thread compatibility, system conditions, and proper CPVC installation procedures.

Female Adapter Design
The female adapter design combines a socket connection and Female Pipe Thread connection within one fitting. This allows compatible CPVC pipe to transition directly to a male-threaded component.
The nominal size and connection configuration should be confirmed before installation. Proper orientation and piping alignment should be established before permanent joining begins.
Socket Connection
The socket connection accepts appropriately sized compatible CPVC pipe for solvent-cement joining. The pipe end and fitting socket should be clean and properly prepared before assembly.
Compatible CPVC primer, solvent cement, insertion procedures, and required cure times should be followed. The joint should remain undisturbed throughout the applicable curing period.
Female Threaded Connection
The Female Pipe Thread connection accepts an appropriately sized compatible male-threaded component. This provides the threaded side of the transition without requiring a separate threaded adapter.
Threads should be clean and properly aligned before assembly. Appropriate threaded plastic-piping procedures and compatible sealing materials should be used while avoiding excessive tightening.
Schedule 80 CPVC Application
A Schedule 80 CPVC Female Adapter SOC x FPT provides a compact transition between solvent-cement CPVC piping and a compatible male-threaded component. This mixed-end design can simplify threaded equipment or piping connections.
System temperature, pressure, fluid compatibility, thread compatibility, joining requirements, and applicable installation procedures should be reviewed for the intended application. Proper support should be maintained around the adapter.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the SOC x FPT configuration.
- Confirm male-thread compatibility.
- Check socket and pipe compatibility.
- Avoid excessive threaded tightening.
Our piping specialists can help review nominal size, socket compatibility, male-thread compatibility, adjoining CPVC pipe, and installation requirements before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 CPVC Female Adapter used for?
It provides a transition between compatible CPVC pipe and a male-threaded component.
What does SOC x FPT mean?
It means the adapter has one socket connection and one Female Pipe Thread connection.
What connects to the FPT end?
The Female Pipe Thread end accepts an appropriately sized compatible male-threaded component.
How is the socket end installed?
The socket end is designed for compatible CPVC solvent-cement joining using proper preparation, joining materials, and cure procedures.
Does this fitting use two different joining methods?
Yes. The socket side uses solvent-cement joining while the FPT side uses a compatible threaded connection.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm nominal size, SOC x FPT configuration, mating male thread, adjoining CPVC pipe size, and system requirements.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the SOC x FPT configuration.
- Confirm mating thread compatibility.
- Check socket connection requirements.
- Use compatible CPVC joining procedures.
