2 inch ABS DWV Adapter Plastic x Female

2 inch ABS DWV Adapter – For Transition in Drain, Waste, and Vent Systems

The 2 inch ABS DWV Adapter is a solvent-weld fitting designed to connect ABS drain, waste, and vent (DWV) pipe to a different piping material or threaded component, depending on configuration. Commonly used in gravity-flow systems, this adapter ensures code-compliant transitions in residential and commercial installations.

Manufactured from impact-resistant Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), this fitting is engineered for non-pressurized DWV systems. It features a slip (hub) connection on one end and a threaded or transitional interface on the other, depending on model specification. Suitable for horizontal or vertical drainage applications, including fixture branches and stack connections.

Key Performance Features

• ✅ Connection Type: 2 inch Hub (solvent weld) x Threaded or transition outlet
• ✅ Material: ABS per ASTM D2661 – corrosion-resistant and suitable for use in DWV systems
• ✅ Operating Conditions: Gravity-flow, non-pressure applications at standard DWV service temperatures
• ✅ Standard Compliance: Conforms to UPC, IPC, and CSA B181.1 code requirements
• ✅ Installation Method: Solvent-weld to ABS pipe with approved ABS cement; thread sealant or PTFE tape for male-threaded components

Installation Notes

Ensure all mating surfaces are clean and dry before solvent-welding. Apply ABS cement to both the pipe and the fitting socket, then seat fully and allow proper cure time as outlined by the cement manufacturer. For threaded connections, use compatible sealants and follow torque recommendations to avoid stress cracking. Verify compliance with local plumbing codes when used in combination piping systems.

Typical Applications

This adapter is used in DWV systems for interfacing between ABS piping and metallic or other plastic piping. It is commonly specified in retrofit conditions where ABS-to-metal or ABS-to-PVC transitions are required, and in fixture arm connections to accommodate system layout constraints.

Material Overview

ABS is known for its high impact strength and dimensional stability across a broad temperature range. It is not recommended for UV-exposed installations unless protected and is approved for use in above- and below-grade DWV applications when installed per code.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
• Nominal Size: 2 inch
• Connection Type: Hub x FNPT or transitional (verify application)
• Standards: ASTM D2661, CSA B181.1, UPC listed

The 2 inch ABS DWV Adapter is a reliable solution for transitioning pipe types or sizes in code-compliant DWV systems. Designed for performance and ease of installation, it supports long-term system integrity in both new construction and retrofit applications.
