Dura Plastic PVC80ADSMIP4 Schedule 80 Male Adapter 4 in

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC PVC80ADSMIP4 is a Schedule 80 PVC male adapter fitting designed to transition a slip socket connection to a male pipe thread (MPT) on a 4-inch pipe system. Built from rigid PVC to Schedule 80 wall thickness standards, this fitting delivers greater pressure capacity and impact resistance compared to Schedule 40 equivalents. It is used in pressurized piping systems where a threaded male end is required to connect to a female-threaded valve, union, or equipment port. Licensed plumbers, industrial pipefitters, and pool and irrigation technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This adapter is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, chemical distribution, pool and spa circulation systems, and irrigation applications where PVC Schedule 80 pressure ratings are required. The slip inlet accepts a 4-inch pipe or fitting with solvent cement, while the male-threaded outlet engages a compatible female-threaded port. Its heavier wall thickness makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service lines and industrial fluid handling environments where a standard Schedule 40 fitting would be undersized.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides higher pressure rating and thicker wall than Schedule 40
• 4-inch slip socket inlet accepts solvent-welded pipe or fittings
• Male pipe thread (MPT) outlet connects to female-threaded valves, unions, or equipment inlets
• Suitable for pool, spa, irrigation, plumbing, and industrial fluid systems
• Corrosion-resistant PVC material compatible with a wide range of water and chemical service applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 4-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using solvent-cement slip connections and male NPT threaded transitions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the system fully before cutting into any existing piping. Use a compatible PVC Schedule 80 solvent cement and primer on the slip connection and apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for PVC on the male threaded joint. Do not over-torque the threaded connection, as PVC threads can crack under excessive force.
