Description
PVC DWV Hub Adapter Increaser (H x S)
PVC DWV Hub Adapter Increaser (H x S) provides a size transition between compatible PVC DWV piping components using hub and spigot connection interfaces. The increaser configuration allows the piping arrangement to transition from one specified nominal size to a larger adjoining connection size.
The H x S increaser configuration combines hub and spigot interfaces within one PVC DWV fitting. Selection should account for both nominal sizes, required size transition, adjoining components, connection orientation, joining requirements, piping alignment, support, and available installation clearance.

Increaser Adapter Design
The increaser configuration provides a transition between different nominal connection sizes within a compatible PVC DWV piping arrangement. This allows the piping layout to move from a smaller specified connection size to a larger adjoining connection.
Both nominal sizes should be identified before permanent assembly so the fitting is installed in the intended direction. Planning the transition helps coordinate adjoining fittings, pipe routing, nearby components, piping support, and available working clearance.
Hub & Spigot Connections
The hub connection receives the corresponding compatible PVC DWV component, while the spigot connection interfaces with an appropriately sized compatible receiving connection. Each side should be matched carefully to the correct adjoining component before assembly.
The mating surfaces should be prepared using the appropriate PVC DWV joining procedure. Compatible joining materials, proper engagement, correct fitting orientation, and careful alignment help establish the transition without placing unnecessary stress on the fitting.
PVC DWV Integration
The PVC DWV construction allows the increaser to integrate into compatible drain, waste, and vent piping arrangements requiring a change in nominal connection size. Matching both specified sizes 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, joining materials, piping support, slope where applicable, and local installation requirements should all be considered during fitting selection.
Increasing Size Transition
A PVC DWV Hub Adapter Increaser provides a compact method for transitioning between different specified nominal sizes using hub and spigot connection interfaces. The fitting should be oriented according to the required direction of the size increase.
Installation planning should consider both connection sizes, insertion depth, adjoining component alignment, nearby fittings, and available clearance. Connected piping should align naturally so the adapter is not relied upon to correct offsets or support improperly positioned piping.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm both nominal sizes.
- Verify the H x S arrangement.
- Check PVC DWV compatibility.
- Confirm the required increase direction.
- Match both ends to adjoining components.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review your nominal sizes, DWV requirements, H x S configuration, required size increase, adjoining components, joining requirements, fitting orientation, piping alignment, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PVC DWV Hub Adapter Increaser used for?
It provides a transition between compatible PVC DWV components where the piping arrangement increases to a larger nominal connection size.
What does H x S mean?
H x S identifies a hub connection at one end and a spigot connection at the other.
Why is this fitting called an increaser?
The fitting transitions between different specified nominal sizes with the intended piping direction increasing to the larger connection.
How is the fitting installed?
The fitting should be assembled using the compatible PVC DWV joining procedure appropriate for the adjoining components.
Does fitting orientation matter?
Yes. The fitting should be oriented so the smaller and larger specified connections correspond with the intended piping layout.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm both nominal sizes, H x S arrangement, required increase direction, PVC DWV compatibility, and adjoining components.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Inspect both connections before use.
- Confirm both nominal connection sizes.
- Verify the required increase direction.
- Prepare adjoining components correctly.
- Set the fitting orientation before assembly.
