Pro-source 90381000809 Pvc Male Adapter 4 in Sch 80

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 90381000809 is a Schedule 80 PVC male adapter designed to transition between slip socket and male iron pipe thread (MIPT) connections in industrial and commercial piping systems. At 4 inches in size, this fitting handles larger-diameter runs where pressure ratings and chemical resistance matter. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it a reliable choice where system demands exceed standard ratings. Plumbers and pipefitters install this adapter to connect plain-end pipe to threaded fittings or threaded ports on valves, pumps, and equipment. The fitting weighs 2.11 pounds and ships as a single unit.

This male adapter suits irrigation systems, industrial process piping, chemical handling lines, and municipal water applications where 4-inch PVC Schedule 80 pipe is specified. The slip inlet accepts a solvent-welded pipe end, while the MIPT outlet threads directly into a female-threaded port. It is appropriate for above-ground and below-ground installations where PVC is code-approved. Contractors working on pool mechanical rooms, industrial plants, and water treatment facilities commonly use this fitting size and schedule rating.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40
• 4-inch fitting size accommodates large-diameter pipe runs
• Slip x MIPT end connections allow solvent-weld to threaded transitions
• PVC material resists corrosion and many common chemicals
• Single-piece fitting with no loose components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 4-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using slip socket and male iron pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber familiar with local plumbing codes and PVC solvent-welding procedures. Depressurize and drain the system completely before cutting into an existing line. Use PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 80 applications on the slip end, and apply appropriate thread sealant to the MIPT end before engaging threaded connections. Do not over-torque threaded joints, as PVC fittings can crack under excessive mechanical stress.
