Value Collection 436-005 Pvc Male Adapter 1/2 in Mipt X Slip

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 436-005 is a Schedule 40 PVC male adapter fitting designed to transition between threaded and slip-fit pipe connections in residential and commercial plumbing systems. The fitting measures 1/2 inch and features a male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on one end and a slip socket on the other, allowing a threaded fitting or valve to connect directly to smooth PVC pipe. Constructed from PVC, this adapter offers solid chemical resistance for cold and ambient-temperature water supply, irrigation, and drain applications. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters are the typical installers of this component.

This adapter is suited for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems commonly found in residential water supply lines, irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and light commercial applications. The MIPT end threads onto a female-threaded fitting, valve, or equipment port, while the slip end is solvent-welded directly to 1/2 inch PVC pipe. It is a standard component in any threaded-to-plain-end PVC transition scenario where a male threaded connection is required.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using 1/2 inch pipe with MIPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. The slip end requires proper PVC primer and solvent cement applied per manufacturer instructions before insertion into the pipe socket. Thread the MIPT end by hand first, then use strap wrench or channel-lock pliers to seat the connection — do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.
