Description
ABS DWV Female Adapter (HUB x FIPT)
ABS DWV Female Adapters provide a convenient transition from solvent-weld ABS pipe to a compatible male-threaded connection in non-pressure drain, waste, vent, sewer, and general drainage systems.
Featuring a hub connection on one end and a Female Iron Pipe Thread (FIPT) connection on the other, this fitting allows compatible ABS DWV pipe to connect to a male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, or other suitable component. The fitting is intended for non-pressure service and meets recognized ABS DWV standards including ASTM D2661, CSA B181.1, and NSF Standard 14.

Connection Configuration
Hub Connection
The hub end accepts compatible ABS DWV pipe for a permanent solvent-cement connection.
Female Threaded Connection
The FIPT opening accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, or other suitable component.
Construction Details
The adapter is manufactured from virgin ABS polymer material suitable for molded fittings and ABS drainage systems.
The hub connection is designed for solvent-cement joining to compatible ABS DWV pipe, while the female threaded end provides a mechanical transition to a suitable male-threaded component.
This mixed-connection design combines a solvent-cement ABS connection with a threaded transition in one compact fitting for non-pressure drainage applications.

Installation
Verify the nominal hub size and FIPT size before installation and confirm compatibility with the intended ABS pipe and male-threaded component.
For the hub connection, cut the ABS pipe square and remove burrs. Clean and prepare the pipe and hub according to accepted ABS solvent-cement installation procedures.
Apply compatible ABS solvent cement as required, then fully seat the pipe into the hub while maintaining proper alignment.
For the threaded connection, use only a thread-sealing method that is compatible with ABS. Avoid sealants or chemicals that may damage ABS compounds, and do not overtighten the threaded connection.
Our piping specialists can help review your hub size, thread size, application, and ABS DWV compatibility before you order.
