1-1/2 inch PVC Schedule 40 Pressure Adapter Plastic x Male

1-1/2 inch PVC Male Adapter – Socket x Male Threaded Transition Fitting

The 1-1/2 inch PVC Male Adapter is a solvent-weld fitting designed to join a female-threaded component to the end of a PVC pressure or drainage system. Featuring a socket connection on one end and male NPT threads on the other, this fitting is suitable for non-corrosive fluid handling in both residential and commercial applications.

Manufactured from rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the adapter complies with ASTM D2466 standards and is intended for use in cold water pressure systems, irrigation, and drainage applications. Its smooth interior and precise thread geometry contribute to optimal flow characteristics and sealing performance.

Product Features for Job-Site Use

• ✅ Socket x MNPT Configuration Connects solvent-weld pipe to female-threaded fittings or valves in transition points.
• ✅ Injection-Molded PVC Fabricated from Schedule 40 PVC for strength, dimensional stability, and corrosion resistance.
• ✅ Lead-Free and Code Compliant Suitable for potable water systems; certified to NSF/ANSI 61 and 372.
• ✅ Threaded End Precision-cut male NPT threads ensure a tight, leak-resistant seal when installed with approved thread sealant.
• ✅ Pressure-Rated For use in pressure systems up to 150 PSI at 73°F when properly solvent-cemented and supported.

Application Scope

Commonly used in water distribution systems, irrigation setups, and certain vent and drain assemblies where threaded and solvent-welded transitions are required. Also used in systems where periodic component replacement or disassembly is anticipated.

Installation Notes

Use primer and solvent cement on the socket end per ASTM D2855 standards. Apply PTFE thread sealant (not pipe dope) to the male threads to avoid damage to plastic components. Do not overtighten threaded connections to prevent stress cracking.

The 1-1/2 inch PVC Male Adapter provides a reliable connection between solvent-weld and threaded pipe systems, delivering durability and compliance for a wide range of fluid transport applications.
