Value Collection 435-040 Pvc Female Adapter 4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 435-040 is a 4-inch Schedule 40 PVC female adapter designed to transition between a slip (socket) end and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end in pressure piping systems. This fitting connects a plain pipe end on one side to a threaded pipe or fitting on the other, making it a standard transition piece in water distribution, irrigation, and drainage applications. Weighing 1.57 pounds, the 435-040 is machined from PVC, which resists corrosion and chemical attack in a wide range of service environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this adapter where a threaded connection is required at the terminal end of a socket-welded PVC run.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation mainlines, and industrial process piping where PVC is an approved material. The slip end is solvent-cemented to the pipe run, while the FIPT end accepts a male-threaded fitting, valve, or equipment connection. Schedule 40 wall thickness makes this fitting appropriate for standard working-pressure service in cold and ambient-temperature water systems.

Key Features

• 4-inch fitting size accommodates large-diameter PVC pipe runs
• Schedule 40 wall construction rated for standard pressure service
• Slip x FIPT end connections allow solvent-cement-to-threaded transitions
• PVC material provides corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility with common water and irrigation media
• Lightweight at 1.57 pounds for easier handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 4-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe systems using standard slip and female iron pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into an existing line. The slip end requires proper PVC primer and solvent cement applied per manufacturer instructions for a code-compliant, pressure-rated joint. The FIPT end should be mated with a compatible male-threaded fitting using thread sealant or PTFE tape; do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.
