Charlotte Pipe 436-101 Pvc Schedule 40 Reducing Male Adapter 3/4 Inches Mpt X 1/2 Inches Socket

Product Description

The Charlotte Pipe 436-101 is a PVC Schedule 40 Reducing Male Adapter designed to connect a 3/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT) to a 1/2 inch socket end. This fitting is a go-to choice for plumbers, irrigation contractors, and mechanical tradespeople who need a reliable threaded-to-socket transition in a downsized configuration. The reducing male adapter allows you to step down pipe size while also transitioning from a threaded connection to a solvent-weld socket joint, making it highly versatile on residential and commercial plumbing jobs. PVC Schedule 40 fittings are among the most widely used components in water distribution, drain systems, irrigation lines, and general plumbing applications. Schedule 40 designates the wall thickness of the fitting, which meets ASTM standards for pressure-rated cold and hot water service within acceptable temperature ranges. PVC is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to work with using standard solvent cement. The 436-101 features a male threaded end that measures 3/4 inches, allowing it to thread directly into a female threaded port on a valve, manifold, pump, or equipment connection. The opposite end is a 1/2 inch socket that accepts standard 1/2 inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe via solvent weld, creating a permanent, leak-free joint. Reducing adapters like this one are essential when connecting larger supply lines to smaller branch lines or fixtures. They eliminate the need for multiple fittings and reduce installation time on the job. Charlotte Pipe is a trusted name in the plumbing supply industry, known for producing fittings that meet or exceed NSF and ASTM standards. Tradespeople rely on Charlotte Pipe products for consistent dimensions, clean threads, and predictable performance across the full range of Schedule 40 fittings.
