Spears Manufacturing 3629-020 PVC Ball Valve Socket to FIPT

Spears Manufacturing 3629-020 is a 2-inch PVC ball valve that combines a slip (socket) end with an FIPT (female iron pipe thread) end. The socket end accepts PVC pipe with a slip fit, while the FIPT end accepts male-threaded piping components, enabling a socket-to-thread transition within a single valve installation. Made from PVC, this valve is designed for use in PVC piping systems where corrosion resistance and low maintenance are important. The part number 3629-020 identifies this specific socket-to-FIPT configuration in Spears' 2-inch PVC ball valve product family. As a ball valve, it provides on/off flow control for the section of the piping network it serves, allowing quick isolation or connection points without the need for separate adapters when a slip-to-threaded connection is required. This combination of a slip and threaded end makes the 3629-020 a versatile choice for assemblies that must integrate both pipe types in a compact, 2-inch footprint.
