The PVC Glue-in Hose End Adapter is the essential link between your rigid PVC infrastructure and flexible garden hose components. Designed with a Spigot connection on one end, this adapter glues directly inside standard Schedule 40 PVC fittings (like tees or elbows), creating a sturdy, permanent anchor point. The opposite end features standard 3/4" Garden Hose Threads (GHT), allowing you to attach a garden hose, timer, or manifold directly to your PVC line.
These irrigation fittings are critical for building custom watering zones, hydrant stands, or system headers. By converting a standard PVC slip socket into a threaded hose connection, they provide a durable interface that withstands the torque of connecting and disconnecting hoses without the risk of leaks common with snap-together adapters.
Verify sizing and thread types before installation.

Secure your adapter with a professional solvent weld.
Step 1: Prepare the Spigot
Ensure the spigot end of the adapter and the inside of your receiving PVC fitting (Tee/Elbow) are clean and dry.
Step 2: Prime
Apply PVC Primer to the outside of the adapter spigot and the inside of the fitting socket. This softens the plastic for bonding.
Step 3: Glue
While the primer is wet, apply a coat of PVC Glue to both surfaces. Insert the adapter fully into the socket, twisting 1/4 turn to distribute the cement.
Step 4: Connect Hose
Allow the glue to cure (approx. 15-30 mins). Once set, screw your garden hose or threaded component onto the GHT end. Use a hose washer for a leak-free seal.
Ensure this fits your setup:
