Built for drain-waste-vent systems, this connector keeps joints secure without glue, making repairs and retrofits smoother and less disruptive.
-
Two compression ends: 1" on one side and 1-1/2" on the other, allowing you to join dissimilar PVC pipes in a single fitting. No need to rework an entire run to fit standard sizes.
-
Schedule 40 PVC compatibility: Optimized for standard drainage piping, ensuring a consistent, compatible fit with common DWV installations.
-
Compression seal: Delivers a tight, leak-resistant connection that can be disassembled if adjustments or future upgrades are needed.
-
Lead-free construction: Designed with safety in mind, reducing lead exposure concerns in drainage applications.
-
Limitations you should know: Not IAPMO certified and not NSF listed, making it best suited for typical DWV projects where local codes permit non-certified components.
-
Pressure rating: Maximum 4.3 ( DWV service is low-pressure by design, this fitting is intended for drainage paths rather than high-pressure lines).
-
Application versatility: Ideal for renovations, repairs, or retrofits where a glue-free, reversible joint is advantageous and quick disassembly might be required in the future.
Typical use scenarios include repairing a cracked connection in a PVC drain line, connecting a 1" branch to a 1-1/2" main line, or adapting an existing pipe to a new PVC run without the mess and time impact of cementing joints. This connector is especially helpful when you need to make changes in tight spaces, where traditional fittings would be cumbersome or where future access might be necessary.

It provides a reliable, non-cemented joint that you can install with basic hand tools, reduces downtime during repairs, and offers the flexibility to disassemble if plans change. For DIY enthusiasts and professional plumbers alike, it’s a practical, straightforward solution for DWV transitions that demand dependable performance without complicating disposal or future modifications.
