The Homewerks Schedule 40 1-1/2 in. Compression X 1-1/2 in. D MPT PVC Male Adapter is the precise, code-ready link your PVC piping projects demand. With a 1-1/2" compression end and a 1-1/2" male pipe thread (MPT) end, this adapter cleanly converts a slip-fit PVC connection to a threaded connection—without the guesswork.
Why this adapter stands out:
-
Two-ends, one purpose: a compression end for 1-1/2" Schedule 40 PVC pipe and a 1-1/2" MPT end for threaded fittings or nipples.
-
Potable-water friendly: lead-free construction, NSF listed, and IAPMO certified to meet plumbing codes and safety standards.
-
Solid performance: rated for up to 150 psi, making it suitable for typical residential water supply and irrigation systems.
-
Direct Connect design: simplifies installations by eliminating guesswork when coupling PVC to threaded components.
-
Durable, code-compliant PVC: Schedule 40 body provides reliable rigidity and compatibility with standard PVC piping.
Who should consider this adapter? DIY homeowners tackling bathroom, kitchen, or irrigation upgrades; professional plumbers needing a dependable transition between PVC pipe and threaded fittings; and installers working on retrofit projects where a threaded connection is required without gluing.
Practical use cases include replacing a faulty threaded connector on a PVC line, joining PVC tubing to a valve or pump with a female thread, or creating a secure, leak-resistant junction in both indoor and outdoor piping runs. When installing, ensure the compression side is properly seated on the PVC pipe and use an appropriate sealant or PTFE thread sealant on the MPT thread for a reliable seal. Tighten to the manufacturer’s recommendations and avoid overtightening to preserve thread integrity.
