Dura Plast 530-008 Pvc Swivel Adapter 3/4 in Fht X Fpt

Product Description

The DURA PLAST 530-008 is a Schedule 40 PVC swivel adapter designed to connect a 3/4-inch female hose thread (FHT) swivel end to a 3/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) fitting. The swivel design allows the hose connection to rotate freely, reducing torque on the threaded joint during hose attachment and removal. This adapter is commonly installed in irrigation, pool, and light-duty plumbing systems where a hose bib or threaded hose connection must transition to a fixed female pipe thread. At 0.08 pounds per unit, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial applications including garden and irrigation hose connections, pool equipment plumbing, and general water-supply piping where PVC fittings are appropriate. It is typically installed by plumbers, irrigation technicians, and pool service professionals working with Schedule 40 PVC systems. The FHT swivel end accepts standard garden-hose-thread fittings, while the FPT end threads directly onto a male pipe thread fitting or valve.

Key Features

• Swivel FHT end allows free rotation during hose connection, reducing joint stress
• Schedule 40 PVC construction provides durability in standard-pressure water service
• 3/4-inch FHT x 3/4-inch FPT configuration suits common hose-to-pipe transitions
• Lightweight at 0.08 pounds per unit for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems requiring a 3/4-inch FHT swivel to 3/4-inch FPT threaded transition.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or irrigation technician. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading this fitting onto any existing connection. Apply PTFE thread tape or a compatible thread sealant to the FPT threads before assembly; do not apply sealant to the swivel hose threads. Hand-tighten the swivel end onto the hose fitting and wrench-tighten the FPT end only to the degree needed to achieve a leak-free seal, as over-tightening can crack PVC fittings.
