The ABS DWV swivel adapter features a spigot x female NPT thread connection and provides a means for adapting a solvent weld connection to a threaded connection. Please refer to NIBCO technical data sheets and catalogs for engineering and installation information. Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) is resistant to a wide variety of materials ranging from sewage to commercial household chemical formulations and can be exposed to a wide temperature span. ABS is lightweight, safe to handle and easy to install. ABS DWV is joined by solvent cementing or threading and can easily be connected to steel, copper, or cast iron through the use of transition fittings. NIBCO® plastic fittings are backed by a 5-year limited warranty. Because of its longstanding reputation for innovation and precision in design and manufacturing, NIBCO is the preferred brand in the industry.

Nibco I026900 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Nibco 5803-2-SW swivel adapter let me connect an ABS drain line to a threaded trap arm or fixture connection?
That's exactly what it's for. The 5803-2-SW is a spigot x female NPT adapter, so the spigot end solvent-cements into an ABS hub fitting and the female threaded end takes a male-threaded connection. It's the transition point between a glued DWV system and any threaded piece downstream. Sold in 1-1/2 inch pipe size.
2) What does the swivel feature on a Nibco 5803 ABS adapter actually do on the job?
The swivel lets the threaded side rotate independently of the cemented spigot, so you can glue the spigot in place and still spin the female thread to line up and tighten onto the mating part without twisting the whole pipe run. On a fixed trap arm or a tight wall cavity, that's the difference between making the joint and cutting the line apart. It's a threaded, swivel, straight-size adapter.
3) Is the Nibco 5803 swivel adapter Schedule 40, and will it fit my existing 1-1/2 inch ABS DWV pipe?
Schedule 40, in 1-1/2 inch, which is the standard size for lavatory and bar sink drains and trap arms. The spigot end is made to the same OD as 1-1/2 inch Schedule 40 ABS DWV pipe, so it drops into a standard hub without a bushing.
4) Can I use an ABS swivel adapter on a hot water or pressure line?
No. The 5803-2-SW is a drain, waste and vent fitting only, rated for service from -40 F to 180 F, and Nibco states plainly not to test or use it with compressed air or other gases. Gravity drainage and venting only. For supply piping you need a pressure-rated system, not ABS DWV.
5) Does the Nibco 5803 ABS adapter meet code for a commercial job, and what standards does it carry?
It's built to ASTM D2665, D3965, D2661 and D3311, plus CSA B181.1, is UL Listed 94V-0, certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 14, and NSF U.P. Certified. Nibco lists it for both commercial and residential plumbing, which is the combination an inspector and a spec writer are looking for on DWV work.
6) Can I tie ABS into an existing cast iron or copper drain with this fitting?
Not directly. The 5803-2-SW joins by solvent cement on the spigot side and by NPT thread on the other. ABS DWV connects to steel, copper or cast iron through transition fittings, so plan on a transition coupling or a threaded transition piece at that point. Where the existing line already terminates in a male NPT thread, the female end of this adapter makes that joint on its own.
7) What color is the Nibco 5803 ABS adapter, and will it match the black ABS already in my building?
Black, the standard ABS DWV color, so it blends with existing black ABS drain and vent lines in a multi-family or commercial building. Material is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, which resists everything from sewage to ordinary household chemical formulations, so it stands up in the same service as the rest of the run.
8) What is the Nibco part number for the 1-1/2 inch ABS swivel adapter?
The 1-1/2 inch spigot x FIPT ABS DWV swivel adapter is Nibco model 5803-2-SW, manufacturer part number I026900. That's the only size this adapter is built in, so there is no size suffix to specify beyond the model itself.
