Westlake Pipe Fittings dwv-d101-015 Dwv Female Adapter

Product Description

The WESTLAKE PIPE FITTINGS dwv-d101-015 is a 1-1/2 inch Schedule 40 PVC DWV female adapter designed to transition between hub and female NPT (FNPT) pipe connections in drain, waste, and vent systems. The hub end accepts a plain-end PVC pipe, while the FNPT end threads onto a male-threaded fitting or pipe. This adapter is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness standards, making it suitable for typical residential and light commercial DWV applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when connecting PVC DWV runs to threaded components such as cleanout plugs, threaded traps, or other FNPT fittings in gravity-drain piping systems.

This adapter is used in residential and commercial drain, waste, and vent piping systems. It is intended for non-pressure, gravity-flow applications including sink drains, lavatory waste lines, and vent stacks where a hub-to-female-threaded transition is required. The 1-1/2 inch nominal size is common in lavatory, bathtub, and kitchen sink drain lines.

Key Features

• Hub x FNPT end configuration for transitioning plain-end PVC pipe to female NPT threads
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard DWV system requirements
• PVC material offers corrosion resistance in drain, waste, and vent service
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size fits common lavatory and sink drain lines
• Rated for DWV (non-pressure) applications per standard classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC DWV piping systems using 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Turn off water supply and ensure the drain line is clear before making connections. Solvent-cement the hub end to plain-end PVC pipe using a PVC primer and cement rated for DWV applications. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to male threads before engaging the FNPT connection.
