Description
ABS DWV Flush Adapter (SPG x FIPT)
ABS DWV Flush Adapters provide a compact transition from ABS DWV piping to compatible male-threaded components in non-pressure drain, waste, vent, sewer, and general drainage systems.
Featuring a spigot (SPG) connection on one end and a Female Iron Pipe Thread (FIPT) connection on the other, this adapter is designed to fit into a compatible ABS DWV hub while providing a threaded connection for a male-threaded pipe, fitting, plug, or other suitable component. Manufactured for ABS DWV service, it meets recognized standards including ASTM D2661, CSA B181.1, and NSF Standard 14.

Connection Configuration
Spigot Connection
The spigot end is designed to fit into a compatible ABS DWV hub fitting, providing a compact connection to the permanent drainage piping system.
Female Threaded Connection
The FIPT opening accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe, fitting, plug, or other suitable component.
Construction Details
The adapter is manufactured from virgin ABS polymer material suitable for molded fittings and ABS drainage systems.
Its flush-style configuration provides a compact transition from a spigot connection to a female threaded opening without adding unnecessary fitting length.
The spigot connection integrates into a compatible ABS hub fitting, while the FIPT opening creates a removable threaded interface for compatible male-threaded components.

Installation
Verify both the spigot size and FIPT size before installation and confirm compatibility with the intended ABS DWV hub fitting and male-threaded component.
Install the spigot end into the compatible ABS hub using the appropriate ABS joining procedure and compatible solvent cement where required.
For the threaded side, use only a thread-sealing method that is compatible with ABS if required by the application. Avoid thread sealants or chemical products that may damage ABS compounds.
Start the male-threaded component by hand to help prevent cross-threading and avoid excessive tightening that could damage the female threads or adapter body.
Our piping specialists can help review your spigot size, thread size, mating fitting, and ABS DWV installation requirements before you order.

What is an ABS DWV flush adapter used for?
It is used to create a compact transition between a compatible ABS DWV hub fitting and a male-threaded component.
What does SPG x FIPT mean?
SPG means spigot and FIPT means Female Iron Pipe Thread. The spigot end fits into a compatible hub fitting, while the threaded opening accepts a compatible male-threaded component.
Why is it called a flush adapter?
The fitting uses a compact, low-profile configuration intended to provide the transition without adding unnecessary overall fitting length.
Is this fitting intended for pressure systems?
No. This fitting is intended for non-pressure drain, waste, vent, sewer, and general drainage applications.
Can it be used for compressed air or gas?
No. The supplied product information specifically states that ABS DWV fittings are not intended for transporting compressed air or gas.
Can this fitting be used for pressure testing?
No. The supplied product information states that ABS DWV fittings should not be used for pressure testing.
What is the maximum operating temperature?
The supplied product information specifies applications where operating temperatures do not exceed 140°F.
Does the spigot side require solvent cement?
The spigot side is intended to connect into a compatible ABS hub using the appropriate ABS solvent-cement joining procedure.
What standards are referenced?
The supplied product information references ASTM D3965, ASTM D2661, CSA B181.1, and NSF Standard 14.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the spigot size, FIPT size, mating ABS hub fitting, male-threaded component, operating temperature, and intended drainage application.
