1-1/2 inch PVC DWV Adapter Plastic x Male

1-1/2 inch PVC Male Adapter DWV PXM – For Secure DWV Pipe Transitions

The 1-1/2 inch PVC Male Adapter DWV PXM is designed for use in non-pressurized drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems. This fitting provides a reliable transition between a socket solvent-weld joint and a threaded female connection, enabling safe and code-compliant installations in residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Molded from durable PVC with smooth interior and exterior surfaces, this male adapter supports proper drainage flow while resisting chemical corrosion. The precision-formed threads and solvent weld socket ensure mechanical integrity and a watertight connection when installed per system requirements.

Product Features

• Material: White Schedule 40 PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
• Connection: 1-1/2 inch Male NPT x 1-1/2 inch Solvent Weld Socket
• Use: For use in DWV systems only (not rated for pressure)
• Compliance: Meets ASTM D2665 and D3311 standards
• Temperature Range: 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C)

Installation Guidance

For solvent connection, apply primer and solvent cement approved for PVC DWV systems per manufacturer instructions. Threaded ends should be sealed with compatible thread sealant—do not overtighten to avoid stress cracking. Proper installation requires alignment and support of the piping system per plumbing code guidelines.

Common Applications

This adapter is typically used in DWV installations behind walls, beneath floors, or in ceiling spaces. It facilitates the connection of PVC piping to cleanouts, traps, or other threaded fittings in both new construction and retrofits.

Technical Advantages

• Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for environments exposed to moisture and household chemical vapors
• Lightweight & Rigid: Easy to handle while maintaining structural strength in horizontal and vertical runs
• Clean Transition: Allows direct adaptation to metal or plastic threaded fittings

Did You Know?

DWV-specific PVC fittings are engineered with sweeping angles and optimized flow geometry to reduce turbulence and support proper venting—essential for preventing trap siphonage and sewer gas entry.

The 1-1/2 inch PVC Male Adapter DWV PXM offers code-compliant performance for drain and vent piping configurations. For dependable transitions from socket to threaded connections, this fitting delivers precision and longevity in DWV applications.
