What is the best way to join 2" RMC, untreaded to 2 " PVC Schedule 80, unthreaded?
We're doing this in a remote area , on an island, and its going to be pretty hard to Bring a heavy pipe threader ou there.
Thank you in advance

A 2" PVC female adapter and a 2" RMC threadless connector if you want to ignore straight/tapered thread nonsense.

For electrical conduit? I'm an electrician, not a plumber.

It actually mentions steel, but . . .

Agreed; female adapters are stronger than male.

your probably right but I only see HDPE and pvc

At the very bottom: "Excellent pull out strength on hdpe, PVC, FRP and steel"

A 2" PVC female adapter and a 2" RMC threadless connector if you want to ignore straight/tapered thread nonsense.

Or a 2" RMC threadless coupling to a threaded offcut of 2" RMC to a 2" PVC female adapter, which avoids the issue.

That's just more steps for no good reason.

It's one extra cut of the RMC (assuming you're starting with full sticks threaded on both ends), and the substitution of a threadless coupling for a threadless connector. Basically using the threadless coupling to create a custom length piece of RMC, and then the female adapter to change over to PVC.

For better or worse it's the "correct" way to do it, as connectors are only designed for terminating raceways to enclosures.

Thanks everyone, forgot to mention this is going on an island off of Alaska, we cant get our pipe threader out there.

How many do you have to do? You can get a 2" ratcheting hand threader from Harbor Freight for $80.
