Dura Plastic PVC40ADSFIP3 Schedule 40 Female Adapter 3 in

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC PVC40ADSFIP3 is a 3-inch Schedule 40 PVC female adapter designed to transition between a slip socket connection and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) fitting. Built to Schedule 40 pressure-rated standards, this adapter handles the demands of pressurized water distribution systems in both residential and commercial plumbing applications. The slip inlet accepts standard 3-inch PVC pipe with solvent cement, while the FIPT outlet threads onto a male-threaded fitting or valve. Plumbers and pipefitters turn to this fitting type when connecting PVC pipe runs to threaded iron or brass components.

This fitting is suited for cold and hot water supply lines, irrigation mainlines, pool and spa plumbing, and industrial process piping where Schedule 40 PVC is the specified pipe material. The 3-inch size serves larger-diameter runs common in commercial buildings, municipal services, and high-flow irrigation systems. It is installed wherever a smooth PVC pipe must terminate or connect to a threaded male component without a union or coupling.

Key Features

• 3-inch slip socket inlet accepts standard PVC pipe with solvent cement weld
• Female iron pipe thread (FIPT) outlet for connection to male-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment
• Schedule 40 pressure-rated PVC construction for use in pressurized systems
• Suitable for potable water, irrigation, pool and spa, and industrial plumbing applications
• Standard ASTM-dimensional geometry for compatibility with Schedule 40 pipe and fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit fitting for Schedule 40 PVC pipe systems using 3-inch nominal pipe size with slip and female iron pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before cutting into an existing run. The slip end requires clean-cut, deburred pipe and the appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 40 pressure service. Allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer instructions before restoring system pressure.
