Description
PVC DWV Fitting Cleanout Adapter (SPIGOT x FPT)
PVC DWV Fitting Cleanout Adapter (SPIGOT x FPT) provides a transition from a compatible PVC DWV hub connection to a female-threaded cleanout opening. The spigot end fits into an appropriately sized compatible receiving hub, while the FPT opening accepts a corresponding male-threaded cleanout component.
The SPIGOT x FPT cleanout adapter configuration combines a spigot connection with a female pipe-threaded service interface within one PVC DWV fitting. Selection should account for nominal size, receiving hub compatibility, threaded component, cleanout accessibility, joining requirements, piping alignment, and available installation clearance.

Cleanout Adapter Design
The cleanout adapter configuration provides an accessible transition from compatible PVC DWV piping to a female-threaded opening. This allows a corresponding male-threaded cleanout component to be installed where service access is required.
The adapter should be positioned so the threaded opening remains accessible for inspection, cleaning, or future removal. Planning the fitting location helps coordinate adjoining piping, nearby fittings, wall or floor clearance, and available service space.
Spigot & FPT Connections
The spigot connection fits into an appropriately sized compatible receiving hub, while the FPT opening accepts an appropriately sized compatible male pipe thread. Each connection should be matched to the intended adjoining component before assembly.
The spigot and receiving hub should be prepared using the appropriate PVC DWV joining procedure, while the threaded component should be started carefully and kept properly aligned. Compatible joining and sealing materials should be selected for their respective connection interfaces.
PVC DWV Integration
The PVC DWV construction allows the cleanout adapter to integrate into compatible drain, waste, and vent piping arrangements requiring threaded service access. Matching the nominal size and connection interfaces to the adjoining components helps maintain the intended piping configuration.
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete DWV system. Adjoining materials, connection compatibility, cleanout access, joining materials, piping support, and local installation requirements should all be considered during fitting selection.
Threaded Cleanout Access
A PVC DWV Fitting Cleanout Adapter provides a removable threaded access point within compatible DWV piping. The female-threaded opening can accept the corresponding male-threaded cleanout component while the spigot end connects to the PVC piping arrangement.
Installation planning should consider thread accessibility, spigot engagement, adjoining component alignment, nearby fittings, and available service clearance. The cleanout opening should remain accessible after installation for future maintenance.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the SPIGOT x FPT arrangement.
- Check PVC DWV compatibility.
- Match the FPT end to the threaded component.
- Maintain access to the cleanout opening.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review your nominal size, DWV requirements, SPIGOT x FPT configuration, adjoining receiving hub, mating threaded cleanout component, joining requirements, cleanout accessibility, piping alignment, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PVC DWV Fitting Cleanout Adapter used for?
It provides a female-threaded cleanout access point from compatible PVC DWV piping.
What does SPIGOT x FPT mean?
It identifies a spigot connection at one end and a female pipe-threaded connection at the other.
What connects to the spigot end?
The spigot end fits into an appropriately sized compatible receiving hub.
What connects to the FPT opening?
The FPT opening accepts an appropriately sized compatible male-threaded cleanout component.
Should the cleanout remain accessible?
Yes. The threaded cleanout opening should remain accessible for inspection, cleaning, and future service.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the nominal size, SPIGOT x FPT arrangement, PVC DWV compatibility, receiving hub, and mating threaded component.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
