Description

Convert Any Fitting to Thread. Instantly.

The PVC Male Slip Insert x MPT (also known as a "Fitting Adapter" or "Street Adapter") allows you to add a Male Pipe Thread (MPT) outlet directly into an existing PVC fitting. Before you start cutting pipe, make sure you have a reliable pair of cutters to ensure clean, square cuts for a leak-free bond. We offer several sizes to fit your specific pipe needs, including 1", 1-1/2", and 2" models, as well as the robust Fiskars PVC Cutter.

Unlike a standard male adapter that fits over pipe, this unique fitting features a Spigot end designed to glue inside the slip socket of a Tee, Elbow, or Coupling. This compact design is perfect for tight spaces where you need to transition to threaded components—like ball valves, filters, or risers—without adding extra pipe length. Manufactured by Dura Plastics from durable Schedule 40 PVC, it ensures a robust, corrosion-resistant connection for your irrigation system.

Why Choose a Spigot Adapter?
  • Space Saving: Eliminates the need for a short "nipple" of pipe between fittings. It glues directly into the hub of your existing PVC fittings.
  • Versatile Threading: Instantly converts a standard slip Tee or Elbow into a threaded outlet to accept FPT accessories.
  • High Durability: Molded from virgin Schedule 40 PVC, meeting ASTM D-2466 standards for pressure and structural integrity.
  • Chemical Resistance: Impervious to rust, scale, and common agricultural fertilizers.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

Requires Solvent Welding (Glue) and Thread Tape.

Step 1: Prep the Slip Joint
Clean the Spigot end of this adapter and the Slip Socket of your target fitting (e.g., Tee or Elbow). Apply Purple Primer to both surfaces.

Step 2: Glue
Apply PVC Glue to the primed areas. Immediately insert the Spigot end into the fitting socket, twisting a quarter turn. Hold for 30 seconds to set.

Step 3: Prep the Threads
Wrap the Male Pipe Threads (MPT) with 3-5 layers of thread seal tape in a clockwise direction.

Step 4: Connect Accessory
Screw your Female Pipe Thread (FPT) valve, filter, or riser onto the adapter. Hand-tighten firmly, then use pliers for a final half-turn if necessary.

✔ Compatibility Check

Ensure this fits your application:

  • Connection 1: Spigot (Same outside diameter as pipe). Fits INSIDE a PVC fitting hub. It does NOT fit over pipe.
  • Connection 2: Male Pipe Thread (MPT). Fits INSIDE a Female Pipe Thread (FPT) fitting.
  • Usage: Ideal for converting a Slip Tee or Elbow into a threaded connection.

Complete Your System

Get the right components for a secure installation:

  • PVC Elbows: Common fittings to glue this adapter into.
  • Purple Primer: Mandatory for preparing the PVC surfaces for bonding.
  • PVC Glue: The solvent cement needed to create the permanent weld.
  • Thread Seal Tape: Essential for leak-free threaded connections.
