Charlotte Pipe 435-101 Pvc Sch. 40 Reducing Female Adapter Socket X Fpt 3/4 Inches X 1/2 Inches

Product Description

The Charlotte Pipe 435-101 is a PVC Schedule 40 Reducing Female Adapter designed for connecting a 3/4 inch socket end to a 1/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT). This fitting is a standard choice for plumbers, pipefitters, and contractors who need to transition between pipe sizes in residential, commercial, and light industrial water distribution systems. The socket end accepts a 3/4 inch PVC pipe using solvent cement, while the threaded end accepts a 1/2 inch male-threaded fitting or valve. This makes it easy to reduce line size or connect threaded components to a PVC piped system in a single fitting. PVC Schedule 40 fittings are widely used in cold and warm water supply lines, irrigation systems, pool and spa plumbing, and drainage applications. Schedule 40 PVC is known for its balance of pressure rating, chemical resistance, and affordability. It handles working pressures suitable for most residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Charlotte Pipe is a well-regarded domestic manufacturer of PVC, CPVC, ABS, and cast iron pipe and fittings. Their Schedule 40 fittings meet ASTM D2466 standards and are NSF 61 certified for use in potable water systems, making them acceptable for drinking water applications in most jurisdictions. The reducing female adapter style is particularly useful when transitioning from a larger main line down to a smaller branch line or connecting a threaded valve or fixture to the system. It eliminates the need for multiple fittings and simplifies installation. Solvent welding the socket end creates a permanent, leak-free joint when done correctly with the appropriate PVC primer and cement. The threaded FPT end allows for removable connections where access or future service may be needed.

• Reduces from 3/4 inch socket to 1/2 inch female pipe thread in a single fitting
• PVC Schedule 40 construction provides strong, corrosion-resistant performance for water supply and irrigation use
• Compatible with standard PVC solvent cement and threaded fittings for fast, reliable installation
