Charlotte Pipe Pvc 02109 1800HA Pvc Male Adapter 3 Inch

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE FOUNDRY CO. PVC 02109 1800HA is a 3-inch white PVC male adapter designed to connect a plain-end pipe to a female-threaded fitting. The slip end accepts a pipe with solvent cement, while the male-threaded end engages a corresponding female thread on the mating fitting. Pipe threads are configured on the outside of the adapter to allow a clean, secure connection to female-threaded fittings. This adapter meets the requirements of ASTM D 2466, confirming dimensional and material compliance for schedule 40 PVC fittings. It is a standard component for licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians working on low-pressure water distribution systems.

This male adapter is suited for residential and light commercial sprinkler and irrigation system installations where a transition from plain PVC pipe to a threaded connection point is required. The slip-by-male-thread configuration is commonly used at valve inlets, risers, and manifold assemblies. The white PVC construction is appropriate for above-ground and below-grade irrigation laterals. This part is sold in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for contractors completing multi-zone system builds or service calls.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into existing piping. Solvent-cement the slip end to the pipe per manufacturer instructions and applicable IPC guidelines, allowing adequate cure time before pressurizing. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads before engaging the mating female fitting; do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.
