Spears PVC Schedule 40 Reducing Male Adapter, MPT x Socket

Spears PVC Schedule 40 Reducing Male Adapter, MPT x Socket

The Spears PVC Schedule 40 Reducing Male Adapter is a reliable transition fitting engineered for PVC piping systems that require a size change between a male threaded (MPT) connection and a socket (SOC) connection. Built from Schedule 40 PVC, this reducing male adapter is designed for durable, corrosion-resistant performance in pressure and non-pressure plumbing applications. The MPT x SOC configuration allows installers to easily transition from threaded fittings, valves, or equipment to solvent-weld PVC pipe runs, making it a versatile component for both residential and commercial plumbing projects.

Key Features

• Reducing Design: Provides a size transition between the male threaded end and the socket end, simplifying pipe runs that step down in diameter.
• Durable Construction: Molded from Schedule 40 PVC for corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and long-term durability in plumbing systems.
• MPT x Socket Connection: Male threaded (MPT) end mates with female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment, while the socket (SOC) end accepts solvent-weld PVC pipe for a secure, leak-resistant joint.
• Lightweight Yet Strong: PVC construction offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, easing handling and installation compared to metal adapters.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of PVC piping systems, including irrigation, drainage, and general-purpose plumbing lines.
