Male Adapter, MPT x Slip PVC Schedule 80 3/4" (836-007)

This 3/4" Schedule 80 PVC Male Adapter provides a direct, reliable transition from a PVC pipe run to any standard female NPT-threaded fitting, valve, pump port, or equipment connection in pressure piping systems. Constructed in dark gray Schedule 80 PVC, it delivers the elevated wall thickness and pressure capacity required in industrial, chemical, and commercial plumbing installations where standard Schedule 40 fittings are insufficient.

The slip socket end accepts a 3/4" PVC pipe for a permanent solvent-cement bond, while the MPT exterior engages any standard FPT or FIP female-threaded connection using NPT tapered thread geometry. This MPT x Slip configuration is the standard approach for terminating a PVC pipe run at a threaded valve, equipment inlet, or system component — eliminating the need for additional couplings or transition pieces in the assembly.

Rated to 850 psi at 73°F (governed by the 3/4" MPT threaded end), this adapter is well-suited for demanding pressure service across a broad range of fluid handling applications. Its PVC composition provides excellent resistance to acids, bases, salts, and chlorinated water, making it a durable long-term choice in corrosive environments where metal fittings would degrade. NSF/ANSI 61 listing confirms suitability for potable water contact.

Apply solvent cement to the slip socket end per ASTM D2564 procedures, ensuring full pipe insertion and a quarter-turn during assembly for even cement distribution. On the threaded end, use a quality pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape and avoid over-torquing — PVC threads require hand-tight plus one to two turns; excessive force can crack the fitting. Derate pressure ratings for elevated temperatures per published derating curves.

Industries & Applications:

• Industrial Process Piping — Terminates PVC pipe runs at pump inlets, valve bodies, instrumentation taps, and equipment ports in chemical processing, water treatment, and manufacturing facilities
• Commercial Plumbing — Connects Schedule 80 PVC distribution lines to threaded valves, pressure gauges, and manifold ports in high-pressure or exposed piping installations
• Irrigation & Water Distribution — Transitions mainline PVC pipe to threaded control valves, zone valves, and filter housings in agricultural and municipal irrigation systems
• Chemical Handling — Performs reliably in systems conveying acids, caustics, fertilizer solutions, and other corrosive fluids incompatible with metal fittings
• Water Treatment & Aquaculture — Used at filter housing inlets, pump connections, and treatment equipment interfaces where NSF/ANSI 61 compliance and corrosion resistance are required
• HVAC & Mechanical Systems — Connects PVC pipe runs to threaded equipment ports on cooling towers, chilled water loops, and chemically treated water systems requiring Schedule 80 pressure ratings
