Female NPT threads on both ends for connecting pipes with male NPT threaded ends

[henni]

I need a 2 inch pvc coupler that looks just like this -- BUT --- this one has the inside threads ONLY at one end, I need both sides with threads.

This is for a submersible 2 inch trash pump and one end of this coupler connects to the pump discharge and the other end (if I can find correct part) connects to a 2 inch union adapter for quick disconnect.

I found a very expensive ($22) adapter on Amazon, surely there is something similar for $5 or less - no ?

Where have you looked?

Or just use iron/steel

In many cases, you can't thread a coupling like that into the mating pieces (or unthread after it's all assembled). You want a UNION.

B&K 2 in. PVC FPT Schedule 40 Union 164-138HC - The Home Depot

Use the BK Products 2 in. PVC Pressure FPT x FPT Union to attach lengths of PVC cold-water tubing together. This union is compatible with Sch. 40 and Sch. 80 PVC. It tolerates up to 100 psi.

I don't think you're gonna find anything under $5 when you're in the 2" size range. 1/2" and 3/4" unions will be in the price range though.

Check electrical supply houses. The sizes and threads are the same for plumbing and electrical PVC conduit. If nothing else, they'll have a steel coupling threaded all the way through.

I have the union pieces, do not need those and they were cheap ($7 each)

They thread directly to the female threads but I need a dual-female thread just like the grey image ($22) pictured, if one available for less ?

Already have the union pieces, don't need them

That would have worked but shipping bumps it up to $20 (sigh)

Go to a farm and home store and look in the sprayer section. Common for use with transfer pumps.

grab two single sided ones and glue them together with a very short piece of unthreaded pipe. Create it.

How much do you make an hour? How much time have you spent saving $10?
