Typical Applications

A 6" PVC male adapter plays an important role in the transition from a solvent-weld slip joint to a threaded female fitting. It’s a versatile option across several industries:

• Irrigation and agricultural systems, especially where threaded filters, valves, or pumps require a male-threaded connection.
• Commercial and industrial pump assemblies that rely on consistent, high-flow transitions between slip-welded PVC and threaded manifolds.
• Water distribution manifolds in facilities, campuses, and multi-building systems.
• Utility, municipal, and infrastructure projects needing corrosion-resistant, large-diameter fittings.
• Pool and spa installations that use threaded union points for service and seasonal maintenance.

Compatible with PVC, CPVC, and approved metal-threaded fittings, this adapter is created for dependable performance in the most demanding environments.

Installation & Handling Tips

Taking the time to thoroughly install your adapter gives you long-term reliability, especially when you’re working with large-diameter fittings. Be sure to follow the best practices below:

• Slip End: Clean all surfaces, apply PVC primer, then use solvent cement. Allow adequate cure time before pressurizing the line.
• Threaded End: Apply PTFE tape or thread sealant approved for PVC.
• Tightening: Hand-tighten first, then use a strap wrench. Avoid overtightening, as it can stress or crack large PVC threads.
• Support: Always support the pipe to prevent torque on the threads.
• Restrictions: Do not use with hot water, pressurized air, or systems exceeding the rated temperature range.
