2 inch PVC DWV Adapter Plastic x Male

1-1/2 inch PVC Schedule 40 Male Adapter – Solvent Weld x MIPT

The 1-1/2 inch PVC Schedule 40 Male Adapter is a solvent-weld fitting designed to transition from a socket (female) end to a male threaded pipe connection. It is suitable for use in pressure and non-pressure systems, including cold potable water lines, irrigation systems, and drain-waste-vent (DWV) installations. This component ensures a secure mechanical connection while accommodating threaded equipment or pipe transitions.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Type I, Grade 1
• Standard: Conforms to ASTM D2466 and D1784 (Cell Class 12454)
• Size: 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size
• Connection Type: Socket (solvent weld) x Male Iron Pipe Thread (MIPT)
• Pressure Rating: Up to 150 PSI at 73°F (varies by application)
• Temperature Range: 33°F to 140°F (not intended for hot water systems)
• Certifications: NSF 61 & NSF 14 for potable water and DWV use

Key Performance Features

• Corrosion Resistant: Non-metallic construction resists rust, scaling, and chemical degradation.
• High Dimensional Accuracy: Factory-molded to tight tolerances for reliable alignment and joint integrity.
• Threaded Transition: Facilitates connection between solvent-welded piping and threaded valves, tanks, or other components.
• Non-Conductive: PVC material eliminates stray current concerns in electrically active environments.

Installation Guidelines

Install the solvent-weld end using an approved primer and solvent cement following ASTM D2855 procedures. Threaded connections must be sealed using PTFE thread sealant tape or a compatible non-hardening thread compound. Avoid over-torquing to prevent cracking. Proper curing time must be observed before system pressurization.

Applications

This male adapter is commonly specified in:

• Residential and commercial potable water distribution systems
• Municipal and private irrigation systems
• Sanitary DWV systems requiring solvent-to-threaded transitions
• Process piping in chemical-resistant applications (verify compatibility)

Code Compliance

Manufactured from lead-free PVC per Safe Drinking Water Act requirements and complies with all relevant plumbing code mandates for potable systems.

The 1-1/2 inch PVC Schedule 40 Male Adapter is a dependable component engineered for long service life and optimal system performance. Ideal for retrofit and new construction projects where reliable solvent-weld to threaded transitions are required in PVC piping networks.
