Cantex 51401 PVCT600 6" PVC Conduit Male Adapter, Threaded Connection

The Cantex 51401 (PVCT600 Series) is a 6" PVC male adapter engineered to transition rigid PVC conduit runs to threaded connections such as hubs, boxes, and enclosures. Molded from durable PVC for long-term corrosion resistance, this male adapter is a staple fitting for electricians building out PVC conduit systems that require a solvent-weld-to-threaded connection point. This listing covers the PVCT600 Series male adapter family, available across several model variants (5140105, 5140108, 5140109, 5140113, 5140114) that share the same 6" trade size, PVC construction, and threaded male-adapter configuration while differing in build depth/dimension for specific installation needs. Its straightforward design makes it easy to install while maintaining a secure, code-compliant transition between conduit sections and threaded fittings.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 6" sizing for large-diameter PVC conduit runs and heavy-duty raceway applications.
  • Durable Construction: Molded PVC material provides corrosion resistance and long service life in a wide range of installation environments.
  • Male Adapter Design: Threaded male end allows direct connection into threaded hubs, boxes, and enclosures, while the opposite end accepts solvent-weld PVC conduit for a secure, permanent joint.
  • PVCT600 Series: Part of the Cantex PVCT600 fitting line, offering a consistent, reliable fit within compatible PVC conduit systems, with model variants 5140105 through 5140114 covering the family.
  • Simple Installation: Straightforward solvent-weld and thread-in design reduces installation time compared to more complex transition methods.

Cantex 5140105 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What trade sizes does the Cantex 51401 PVC male adapter come in?
Five trade sizes are orderable in the 51401 male adapter family: 1 inch (MPN 5140105), 2 inch (5140108), 2-1/2 inch (5140109), 5 inch (5140113) and 6 inch (5140114). Order by the trade size of the PVC conduit you are solvent welding to, not by the hub size on the enclosure.
2) How does a PVC male adapter connect at each end?
Two different joint types, one on each end. The threaded male end screws into a threaded hub, box or enclosure. The opposite end is a socket that takes rigid PVC conduit with solvent cement for a permanent joint. So you cement the conduit side in place and thread the other side into the enclosure.
3) Do I need a male adapter or a female adapter to land PVC conduit on a threaded enclosure hub?
If the enclosure or box has a female threaded hub, the male adapter is the right fitting: its threads go into the hub and the conduit cements into the socket end. A female adapter is the one you use the other way around, when the mating part has male threads, such as a threaded rigid metal nipple or a conduit body with external threads. Confirm which way the threads run on the enclosure before you order.
4) Will a Cantex PVC male adapter hold up in a wet or underground conduit run?
The adapter is molded PVC, which is corrosion resistant and is the usual reason PVC raceway gets specified for buried and damp locations in the first place. The description lists large-diameter underground and above-ground conduit runs among its applications. The joint integrity depends on a properly cemented solvent weld on the socket end and thread sealant or tape at the threaded end.
5) Can I use this adapter to join PVC conduit to rigid steel conduit?
Yes, where the steel side presents a threaded connection the male adapter can thread into it, since the adapter's whole purpose is a solvent-weld-to-threaded transition point. The PVC side must be rigid PVC conduit of the matching trade size, cemented into the socket. Sizes run 1, 2, 2-1/2, 5 and 6 inch.
6) What else do I need to buy to install a Cantex 51401 male adapter?
PVC solvent cement for the socket joint is the one consumable you cannot skip, and it is not part of the fitting. Most installers also add thread sealant or tape on the male threads where water intrusion matters. No gaskets, locknuts or mounting hardware are included with the adapter itself.
7) I am standardizing fittings across a facility. Are the 51401 adapters part of one consistent series?
All five models (5140105, 5140108, 5140109, 5140113, 5140114) belong to the Cantex PVCT600 fitting line, so sizing and the male-adapter configuration stay consistent across the range. That makes it practical to spec one series for every PVC-to-threaded transition in a building and only vary the trade size.
