Male Adapter, MPT x Slip PVC Schedule 40 6" (436-060)
$16.40
The 436-060 is a 6" PVC Schedule 40 male adapter in an MPT x slip (male pipe thread x socket) configuration. The slip end accepts 6" plain-end pipe for solvent welding, while the male-threaded end connects directly into any compatible female-threaded (FPT) fitting, valve, or equipment port — making this a straightforward, single-fitting solution for transitioning between a solvent-weld pipe system and a threaded connection point.
At 6", this is a large-diameter adapter and will most commonly be found at the interface between major PVC distribution headers and large threaded valves, flanged equipment, pump inlets, or mechanical connections that require a threaded engagement rather than a solvent-weld joint. The male thread end allows the adapter to be installed and removed from the female-threaded receiving fitting as needed — a practical advantage at equipment connections where future servicing, valve replacement, or system modification is anticipated.
Manufactured from virgin PVC compound to Schedule 40 dimensional standards, the 436-060 provides solid pressure ratings appropriate for standard commercial and light industrial service at this diameter. The solvent-weld slip end creates a permanent, chemically fused joint to the pipe, while the threaded end should be assembled with appropriate thread sealant to ensure a leak-free connection under pressure.
Like all Schedule 40 PVC fittings, the 436-060 is fully resistant to corrosion, chemical attack, and biological fouling — eliminating the rust, scale, and galvanic concerns that accompany large-diameter metal transition fittings of equivalent size.

Male Adapter, MPT x Slip PVC Schedule 40 6" (436-060)
Technical Specifications
This 6" MPT x Slip Male Adapter is built from durable Schedule 40 PVC, making it a reliable choice for large-diameter cold-water systems. It features a slip (socket) connection on one side for solvent-weld installation and a male pipe thread (MPT) on the other for secure threaded connections. The standard NPT thread profile provides compatibility with most female-threaded PVC, CPVC, or metal fittings used in commercial and residential plumbing.
- Material: PVC Schedule 40
- Nominal Size: 6"
- Ends: Slip Socket × Male Pipe Thread
- Color: White
- Pressure Rating: Typically, 200–230 PSI at 73°F
- Temperature Range: 33°F – 140°F
- Certifications: NSF/ANSI (varies by batch), ASTM D2466 / D1785
- Carton Qty: 4
- Pallet Qty: 192
- Use: Cold-water plumbing, irrigation, utility systems
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.
