436-060 6" Mpt x Slip Male Adapter PVC SCH 40
This 6" Schedule 40 PVC Male Adapter provides a secure transition from a solvent-weld slip socket to a male-threaded connection, making it a crucial component in large plumbing and water-handling systems. The slip side bonds permanently to PVC pipe, while the threaded side connects seamlessly to female-threaded PVC or metal fittings.
Crafted from corrosion-resistant Schedule 40 PVC, this adapter supports strong, leak-resistant joints in commercial plumbing, irrigation setups, industrial water lines, pump connections, and municipal water distribution. Its smooth interior walls maintain optimal flow, while its lightweight construction simplifies handling during installation. Suitable for both professionals and skilled DIY users, this adapter delivers durability, reliability, and excellent value for large-diameter plumbing systems.
Technical Specifications

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.
