Connection Configuration
Spigot Connection
The spigot end is designed to fit into a compatible ABS DWV hub fitting, creating a compact transition from the permanent drainage piping system.
Male Threaded Connection
The MIPT end threads into a compatible female-threaded pipe, fitting, cleanout component, adapter, or other suitable connection.
Construction Details
The adapter is manufactured from virgin ABS polymer material suitable for molded fittings and ABS drainage systems.
The spigot end integrates into a compatible ABS hub fitting, while the male threaded end provides a removable mechanical transition to a female-threaded component.
This mixed-connection design provides a compact way to combine a solvent-cement ABS connection with a threaded interface in non-pressure drainage applications.

Installation
Verify both the spigot size and MIPT size before installation and confirm compatibility with the intended ABS DWV hub fitting and female-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, start the MIPT connection by hand into the compatible female-threaded component to help prevent cross-threading.
Use only thread-sealing materials confirmed compatible with ABS if sealing material is required, and avoid excessive tightening that could damage the adapter or mating component.
Our piping specialists can help review your spigot size, male thread size, mating fitting, and ABS DWV installation requirements before you order.

What is an ABS DWV male adapter used for?
It is used to transition from a compatible ABS DWV hub fitting to a female-threaded component in a non-pressure drainage system.
What does SPG x MIPT mean?
SPG means spigot and MIPT means Male Iron Pipe Thread. The spigot end fits into a compatible ABS hub fitting, while the threaded end connects to a compatible female-threaded component.
What can connect to the MIPT end?
The MIPT connection can thread into a compatible female-threaded pipe, fitting, adapter, cleanout component, or other suitable connection.
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, MIPT size, mating ABS hub fitting, female-threaded component, operating temperature, and intended drainage application.
