Midland Industries 55784 Pvc Adapter 1-1/4 in Female Socket X 1/2 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 55784 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducer adapter that connects a 1-1/4 inch female socket (slip) end to a 1/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT) end. It is used to transition between a solvent-welded PVC line and a threaded pipe connection while also reducing the line size. The Schedule 40 rating indicates a standard-duty wall thickness appropriate for typical residential and light commercial plumbing pressure applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction, renovation, or repair work on cold and ambient-temperature water distribution systems.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a PVC slip connection must terminate into a threaded female port. Common install scenarios include connecting PVC supply lines to threaded valves, fittings, or equipment ports that require a 1/2 inch male threaded stub. The fitting is part of the Schedule 40 PVC product family, which is widely used in potable water, drain, waste, vent, and irrigation piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply PVC primer and solvent cement to the slip end per the cement manufacturer instructions, and use appropriate PTFE tape or thread sealant on the FPT end before making the threaded connection. Do not exceed the pressure or temperature ratings of Schedule 40 PVC as published by the fitting manufacturer.
