Spears PVC Schedule 40 MPT x Socket Male Adapter

The Spears PVC Schedule 40 Male Adapter is an MPT x Socket fitting engineered to transition threaded male pipe connections into solvent-welded socket piping within PVC pressure systems. Molded from durable Schedule 40 PVC, this adapter family is offered across a broad size range from 1/2" through 4", including a 3/4" x 1" reducing configuration, giving contractors and distributors a single reliable source for threaded-to-socket transitions on plumbing, irrigation, and general piping projects. The MPT x Socket configuration delivers a clean, code-appropriate connection from threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports directly into standard PVC socket pipe runs. This bulk-packable adapter simplifies fitting inventory for distributors and installers managing multiple project sizes.

  • Durable Construction: Schedule 40 PVC material offers strong corrosion and chemical resistance for long-term reliability in pressure piping systems.

Spears 436-005 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes does the Spears 436 Series PVC male adapter come in?
The Spears Schedule 40 male adapter runs 1/2 inch (436-005), 3/4 inch (836-007), 1 inch (436-010), 1-1/4 inch (436-012), 1-1/2 inch (436-015), 2 inch (436-020), 2-1/2 inch (436-025), 3 inch (436-030) and 4 inch (436-040). There is also a reducing 3/4 x 1 inch version, 836-102, for stepping between sizes at the transition.
2) Should I use a male adapter or a female adapter on my PVC line?
Pick by what the mating part is. This male adapter carries external NPT threads, so use it where the device has a female threaded port. If the equipment or pipe nipple has male threads, you want the female adapter instead (socket by FPT). Both glue to the same pipe on the socket side, so the only decision is which way the threads run.
3) How should I make up the threaded joint on a PVC male adapter?
Thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male threads, hand tight plus a turn or two with a strap wrench. PVC threads are tapered and the female side splits if you crank them. Do not use pipe dope containing solvents on plastic. The socket end is a different process entirely: primer and Schedule 40 solvent cement, full insertion, quarter turn, hold.
4) Does the 3/4 x 1 inch Spears male adapter reduce, and which end is which?
836-102 is the bushed version in the 836 line, carrying a 3/4 inch and a 1 inch connection rather than a single size like the straight 436 fittings. Every other size in the range, from 1/2 inch through 4 inch, is same-size threaded end to socket end.
5) Is this Spears adapter sold individually or in bulk boxes?
The 1/2 inch, 436-005, is packed 300 each per bulk pack, which is aimed at distributors and contractors buying for volume irrigation and plumbing work rather than a single repair.
