Zoro Select 222242 Tap Adapter

The Zoro Select 222242 is a straight tap adapter made from gray cast iron with a bitumen coating. It connects a 1-1/2 inch female socket to a 2 inch female socket for pipe installations. The fitting meets Class 20 specifications and has a maximum operating pressure of 0 psi. It is supplied new for plumbing applications.

Suited for low-pressure cast iron piping

This adapter suits installers joining two female sockets of different diameters in a straight line. The bitumen coating provides a protective layer on the cast iron body. It is not for systems requiring a positive pressure rating. Buyers needing a pressure-rated fitting or a different material should look at other options.

Simple socket connection with alignment care

Installation involves inserting the pipe ends into each female socket. The straight design keeps the joint in line during assembly. The main issue is ensuring both pipes seat fully to prevent leaks at the joint. No special tools are required beyond standard pipe fitting equipment.

Questions about this item

What size pipe do I need on each side for this 1-1/2" x 2" tap adapter to fit?

The adapter accepts a 1 1/2 in pipe with a 1 61/64 in female socket on one end and a 2 in pipe with a 2 13/32 in female socket on the other.

Will this cast iron adapter connect to my existing galvanised steel pipe threads?

No, both ends use female socket joints for cast iron pipe, not threaded connections for steel.

How do I confirm the joint is sound after assembly?

Apply the recommended lead and oakum or compression gasket for Class 20 cast iron, then pressure-test the line to verify no leaks appear.
