Description
PVC DWV Female Adapter (FPT x HUB)
PVC DWV Female Adapter (FPT x HUB) provides a transition between a female threaded connection and compatible PVC drain, waste, and vent piping. The fitting combines an FPT connection with a hub connection to integrate threaded components into a compatible PVC DWV system.
The FPT x HUB female adapter configuration provides a compact transition between threaded and solvent-weld style connections. Selection should account for nominal size, thread compatibility, hub compatibility, adjoining components, joining requirements, piping alignment, support, and available installation clearance.

Female Adapter Design
The female adapter configuration provides a transition between a compatible male threaded component and PVC DWV piping. This allows a threaded connection to be incorporated into a compatible drainage system through one compact fitting.
The adapter should be positioned so both connection interfaces align naturally before final assembly. Planning the installation helps coordinate the threaded component, adjoining PVC pipe, nearby fittings, and available working clearance.
FPT & Hub Connections
The female pipe thread connection accepts an appropriately sized compatible male threaded component, while the hub connection receives compatible PVC DWV pipe. Each connection should be matched carefully to the intended adjoining component before assembly.
The hub side should be prepared using the appropriate PVC DWV joining procedure. The threaded side should be assembled using practices and sealing materials suitable for the compatible threaded connection and intended application.
PVC DWV Integration
The PVC DWV construction allows the female adapter to integrate into compatible drain, waste, and vent piping arrangements requiring a threaded transition. Matching the nominal size and FPT x HUB interfaces to the adjoining components helps maintain the intended piping configuration.
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete DWV system. Thread compatibility, adjoining materials, connection compatibility, joining materials, piping support, and local installation requirements should all be considered during fitting selection.
Threaded Transition
A PVC DWV Female Adapter provides a compact transition between a compatible male threaded component and PVC DWV pipe. The FPT x HUB arrangement combines two different connection methods within the same fitting body.
Installation planning should consider thread engagement, hub insertion, adjoining component alignment, nearby fittings, available clearance, and piping support. Connected components should align naturally without forcing the adapter into position.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the FPT x HUB arrangement.
- Check PVC DWV compatibility.
- Confirm the mating thread size.
- Align adjoining components before assembly.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review your nominal size, DWV requirements, FPT x HUB configuration, mating threaded component, adjoining PVC pipe, joining requirements, piping alignment, support requirements, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PVC DWV Female Adapter used for?
It provides a transition between a compatible male threaded component and PVC DWV piping.
What does FPT x HUB mean?
It identifies a female pipe thread connection at one end and a hub connection at the other.
What connects to the FPT end?
The FPT end accepts an appropriately sized compatible male threaded component.
What connects to the hub end?
The hub end receives appropriately sized compatible PVC DWV pipe.
Does the fitting use two different joining methods?
Yes. One side uses a threaded connection and the other uses the appropriate PVC DWV joining procedure.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the nominal size, FPT x HUB arrangement, PVC DWV compatibility, and mating threaded component.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Inspect both connections before use.
- Confirm the nominal connection size.
- Verify the FPT x HUB arrangement.
- Prepare adjoining components correctly.
- Confirm thread compatibility before assembly.
