Nibco I024500 Dwv Adapter 1-1/2 in Hub X Fipt Abs

Product Description

The NIBCO I024500 is a drain, waste, and vent (DWV) adapter fitting manufactured from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic. It connects a hub-end pipe to a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) fitting in a single transition, making it a practical solution for joining ABS DWV pipe to threaded fittings in drainage systems. Rated for temperatures from -40 degrees F to 180 degrees F, this 1-1/2 inch adapter handles the thermal range typical of residential and light commercial drain lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during rough-in work and system repairs.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where ABS DWV pipe meets a threaded connection point. Typical applications include drain line extensions, fixture trap arms, vent stack tie-ins, and branch connections where a hub-to-FIPT transition is required. The 1-1/2 inch size suits lavatory drains, dishwasher drains, and similar fixture connections commonly encountered in residential plumbing rough-in and remodel work.

Key Features

• Hub x FIPT end connections allow direct transition from plain-end ABS pipe to a threaded female port
• ABS construction provides lightweight handling and resistance to typical DWV chemicals and drain temperatures
• Operating range of -40 degrees F to 180 degrees F suits standard residential drain, waste, and vent service
• NPTF thread standard ensures a reliable threaded seal at the FIPT end
• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 quality management certification
• 1-1/2 inch fitting size covers a wide range of common fixture drain applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/2 inch ABS DWV piping systems requiring a hub to female iron pipe thread transition.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local authority having jurisdiction requirements. Solvent-weld the hub end to the ABS pipe using ABS-rated cement and primer; allow full cure time before pressure-testing the system. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads engaging the FIPT end before assembly. Always ensure the drain system is depressurized and flow is stopped before cutting into an existing line.
