Dura Plastic 436-060 Pvc Adapter 6 Inch Sch 40

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC 436-060 is a Schedule 40 PVC adapter fitting designed to transition between a socket (slip) connection and a male NPT threaded end. At 6 inches nominal size, this adapter handles the demands of larger-diameter piping systems in water distribution, irrigation, pool and spa plumbing, and industrial fluid handling. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides reliable pressure handling for standard service conditions. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a cemented pipe connection needs to mate with a threaded valve, pump, or equipment port.

This adapter is suited for residential and commercial applications involving 6-inch PVC piping systems. Typical installations include pool and spa equipment pads, water treatment facilities, municipal water distribution, and agricultural irrigation headers. The socket end accepts Schedule 40 PVC pipe solvent-welded in place, while the male NPT end threads directly into a female-threaded port or fitting. Domestic manufacture supports projects requiring USA-made components.

Key Features

• 6-inch nominal size for large-diameter piping systems
• Socket x MNPT end configuration transitions cemented pipe to threaded connections
• Schedule 40 PVC construction for standard-service pressure ratings
• Domestically manufactured PVC material
• Compatible with standard solvent-weld installation on the socket end

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems at 6-inch nominal pipe size with Socket x MNPT end configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation of the socket end requires a compatible PVC primer and solvent cement applied per the fitting and cement manufacturer instructions and applicable plumbing code such as the IPC. The MNPT threaded end should be assembled with PTFE thread tape or an approved thread sealant and tightened to a firm hand-tight-plus engagement without over-torquing the PVC threads. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before cutting into existing lines or removing existing fittings. This fitting should be installed by a licensed plumber where required by local jurisdiction.
