Westlake Pipe & Fittings 435-020 Female Adapter, 2″ Socket x FPT
The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 435-020 Female Adapter is a premium-grade PVC fitting designed to connect a 2-inch PVC pipe to a threaded male fitting, providing a strong, leak-resistant transition between solvent-welded and threaded components in plumbing, irrigation, or industrial piping systems. Engineered with precision and manufactured from high-quality PVC resin, this adapter combines durability, chemical resistance, and ease of installation, making it a dependable solution for both residential and commercial applications.
This female adapter features a socket (slip) connection on one end and a female pipe thread (FPT) on the other, allowing users to join two different connection methods within a single system. The socket end is designed for solvent-weld connections using standard PVC primer and cement, ensuring a permanent and watertight bond with 2-inch PVC piping. The FPT side provides a strong threaded interface, allowing repeated assembly and disassembly for maintenance or replacement of equipment such as valves, pumps, gauges, or threaded fittings. This makes the 435-020 adapter especially useful in systems requiring periodic inspection or flexible component integration.
The body of the Westlake 435-020 is molded from rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that meets or exceeds industry standards for pressure-bearing components. The smooth interior surface promotes consistent flow while minimizing pressure drops, sediment buildup, and friction losses. Its structural design ensures that torque and stress from threaded assemblies are distributed evenly, reducing the risk of cracking or thread deformation over time.
One of the standout benefits of this adapter is its excellent resistance to corrosion, rust, and chemical degradation. Unlike metal fittings that can corrode in harsh environments, the 435-020 maintains long-term integrity even when exposed to acids, salts, and other aggressive media commonly found in irrigation, wastewater, and light industrial systems.
The Westlake 435-020 Female Adapter is suitable for pressure-rated and non-pressure applications, including cold-water distribution, irrigation systems, chemical handling, pool and spa plumbing, and agricultural or commercial fluid transport. While not recommended for hot water or compressed air systems, its robust design and versatile configuration make it a trusted choice for professionals seeking long-lasting, low-maintenance connections.
By providing a seamless transition between threaded and solvent-welded connections, this adapter enhances system flexibility, reduces installation time, and ensures reliable operation across a variety of plumbing configurations. Whether used in a simple irrigation manifold, an industrial filter assembly, or a municipal piping system, the Westlake 435-020 stands out for its consistent performance, ease of use, and exceptional material quality.
