Charlotte Pipe PVC-101-3IN 3 Inch Pvc Dwv Female Adapter

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE PVC-101-3IN is a 3 inch PVC female adapter fitting designed for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) applications. It connects to DWV piping systems using solvent cement and accepts a male-threaded or plain-end pipe on the opposite end depending on configuration. This fitting is rated for non-pressure, gravity-fed waste elimination systems only and is not suitable for pressurized supply lines. Maximum service temperature is 140 degrees F. PVC construction keeps the fitting lightweight and straightforward to work with on residential and commercial drain rough-in jobs. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters are the primary installers.

This adapter is used in gravity-fed DWV systems where a transition or connection point requires a female socket end. Typical applications include drain rough-in, waste stack connections, and vent piping assemblies in residential and light commercial construction. The fitting accepts solvent cement joining as the primary installation method and is also compatible with threaded, flanged, and roll-grooved joining methods where the system design calls for them. Its lightweight PVC body makes handling and positioning in overhead or tight-space installs easier than cast iron alternatives.
