Schedule 40 PVC female adapter that connects 3/4" PVC slip (socket) pipe to 1/2" female pipe thread (FPT), reducing the run diameter in a single fitting. Used to transition from solvent-welded PVC pipe to threaded valves, hose bibs, gauges, or metal piping. White Schedule 40 PVC, manufactured to industry standard wall thickness for pressure water service.

• 3/4" slip (socket) x 1/2" FPT (female pipe thread), reducing
• Schedule 40 PVC, white
• 150 PSI maximum working pressure at 73 deg F
• Maximum service temperature 140 deg F (PVC softens above this)
• Meets ASTM D2466 for Schedule 40 PVC pressure fittings
• NSF 14 and NSF 61 certified for potable water
• Common uses: hose bib transitions, valve connections, irrigation manifolds, pool plumbing

Installation Tip (slip side): Dry-fit the pipe and adapter first -- the pipe should bottom in the socket. Disassemble, apply PVC primer to both the pipe end and the socket, then a generous coat of PVC solvent cement. Push the pipe fully into the socket with a quarter-turn and hold for 30 seconds. Wipe excess cement and let cure before pressure testing.

Installation Tip (threaded side): Wrap 2-3 turns of PTFE thread tape clockwise on the mating MPT fitting. Hand-tighten plus 1 to 1-1/2 turns with a strap wrench. Do not overtighten -- PVC threads can crack under excessive torque, and the joint will leak rather than seal tighter.
