Value Collection 436-010 Pvc Male Adapter 1 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 436-010 is a Schedule 40 PVC male adapter designed to transition between threaded and slip pipe connections in residential and commercial plumbing systems. Sized at 1 inch, it features a male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on one end and a slip socket on the other, allowing a threaded fitting to connect directly into a solvent-weld PVC line. Weighing 0.46 pounds, this lightweight fitting handles standard-pressure service lines where PVC is code-appropriate. Plumbers and pipefitters install this adapter when joining threaded metal or PVC components to smooth-bore PVC piping without the need for a union or transition coupling.

This fitting is suited for cold and hot water supply lines, irrigation systems, pool and spa plumbing, and drain applications where Schedule 40 PVC is approved. The MIPT x slip configuration is one of the most common transition arrangements in PVC plumbing, making this adapter a standard stock item for service trucks and supply rooms. It is appropriate for above-ground and in-wall installations where local code permits Schedule 40 PVC pressure piping.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work. Apply PTFE tape or approved thread sealant to the MIPT threads before assembly, and use an approved PVC solvent cement on the slip socket end following manufacturer cure time guidelines. Do not overtighten the threaded connection, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.
