Value Collection 436-030 Pvc Male Adapter 3 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 436-030 is a Schedule 40 PVC male adapter designed to transition between male iron pipe thread (MIPT) and slip socket connections in plastic piping systems. At 3 inches, this fitting handles a wide range of residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, and industrial fluid-handling applications. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides reliable pressure ratings typical of standard service PVC systems. Weighing approximately 1.27 pounds, it is a single-piece fitting intended for solvent-weld installation on the slip end and threaded engagement on the MIPT end. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This male adapter is suited for use in potable water distribution, irrigation mainlines, pool and spa plumbing, and general industrial piping where PVC Schedule 40 is the specified material. The MIPT end threads into a female-threaded fitting, valve, or equipment port, while the slip end accepts a standard 3-inch PVC pipe with solvent cement. It is appropriate for both above-ground and in-wall installations where PVC pipe is code-acceptable.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before cutting into any existing piping. Apply an approved PVC primer and solvent cement to the slip end per the cement manufacturer's instructions, and use thread sealant tape or compound on the MIPT threads before making up the threaded joint. Do not over-torque the MIPT connection, as PVC threads can crack under excessive force.
