The Schedule 40 PVC Male Adapter is the essential bridge between your rigid piping system and threaded components. Featuring a Slip x Male Pipe Thread (MPT) configuration, this fitting allows you to solvent weld one side directly to standard PVC pipe while providing a threaded outlet on the other. It is the industry standard for connecting valves, filters, and regulators to your main water line.
Reliable and durable, these adapters are among the most critical irrigation fittings for building professional manifolds. When installing the threaded end, we highly recommend using thread seal tape to ensure a watertight seal without risking damage to the plastic threads.

This installation requires both solvent welding and threading.
Step 1: Prep the Slip Connection
Clean the outside of your PVC pipe and the inside of the adapter's slip socket. Apply PVC Primer to both surfaces to soften the plastic.
Step 2: Solvent Weld
Apply PVC Glue to the primed areas. Immediately push the adapter onto the pipe, twisting a quarter turn to distribute the cement. Hold for 30 seconds to set.
Step 3: Prep the Threads
Wrap the Male Pipe Threads (MPT) with Teflon tape (usually 3-4 wraps). Do not use pipe dope on plastic threads unless it is specifically rated for PVC.
Step 4: Connect Threaded Component
Screw the adapter into your female threaded valve or fitting. Hand-tighten firmly, then use a wrench for one additional turn. Caution: Over-tightening can crack plastic fittings.
