Charlotte Pipe 1-1/4 in Slip X 1-1/4 in D MPT PVC Adapter is the reliable link you need to transition from solvent-weld PVC piping to threaded components in above-ground pressure systems. Designed for durability and ease of installation, this adapter helps you solve common piping challenges with a single, concrete solution.
-
Two proven ends in one fitting: A 1-1/4" slip (socket) end for secure, clean solvent-weld connections to PVC pipe, paired with a 1-1/4" D MPT (male pipe thread) end for straightforward threading into compatible female-threaded components. This configuration simplifies repair work and system upgrades without juggling multiple fittings.
-
Lead-free and certified for safety: Average lead content is lead-free, with IAPMO certification and NSF listing, ensuring compatibility with potable water systems and compliance with regional codes. You can trust this adapter in residential, commercial, and light-industrial applications.
-
Material you can count on: Crafted from high-quality PVC, the adapter resists corrosion and chemical exposure typical of water service, irrigation, and weather-exposed outdoor piping. It’s built to maintain a reliable seal over time in above-ground environments.
-
Ideal applications: Perfect for connecting PVC piping to threaded valves, pumps, filters, or other equipment that uses 1-1/4" male threads. Use in pressure applications where a durable, non-metallic connector is advantageous, such as sprinkler manifolds, pool and spa lines, or municipal-institution water lines above ground.
-
Not designed for underground use: This adapter is specified as not underground rated, so plan installations above ground and in accessible locations where standard PVC connections are appropriate. Always follow local codes and manufacturer guidelines for exposure and environmental conditions.
-
Practical installation tips:
- Prepare both ends: clean and dry the pipe and threaded components before assembly.
- For the slip end, use a compatible PVC primer and cement for a strong, solvent-weld seal aligned with standard practice.
- For the MPT end, seal threads with Teflon tape or appropriate pipe-thread sealant, and avoid overtightening to prevent cross-threading or damage.
- Verify size compatibility: this is a 1-1/4" nominal adapter on both ends, so match it with corresponding 1-1/4" PVC pipe and 1-1/4" female threads.
-
What you get: A single, durable adapter in bulk packaging, designed to streamline repairs and new installs in above-ground piping systems while meeting safety and quality standards.
Whether you're routing a lawn irrigation line, upgrading a pump connection, or tying a PVC system to threaded equipment, this Charlotte Pipe adapter offers a precise, code-compliant, and corrosion-resistant solution. Its lead-free construction, IAPMO and NSF credentials, and straightforward slip-to-MPT design help you complete projects with confidence and lasting performance.
