Heavy-duty gray Schedule 80 PVC coupling for joining two lengths of threaded PVC pipe in a straight run. Female pipe thread (FPT) on both ends accepts standard NPT male-threaded pipe for a secure, pressure-rated, leak-resistant connection without solvent welding.

• 2" FPT x FPT (NPT) threaded connection on both ends
• Schedule 80 gray PVC: thicker walls and higher pressure rating than Schedule 40 for the same nominal size
• Compound meets ASTM D 1784 (Cell Class 12454, Type I Grade I PVC)
• Threads conform to ASTM D 2464 and ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 NPT taper standards
• NSF/ANSI 61 certified for potable water service
• Maximum operating temperature 140 F; not for use with compressed air, gas, or steam
• Use: main irrigation supply runs, pool main lines, commercial pressure trunks, and chemical/water transfer at higher flow rates
• Manufactured in the USA by Charlotte Pipe

Tip: Apply 2-3 wraps of PTFE thread tape or a PVC-compatible thread sealant (no petroleum-based pipe dope) to the male threads. Hand-tighten plus 1-2 wrench turns -- over-torquing splits the female socket. Never solvent-weld inside the female threads of this fitting.
