Description
Schedule 80 PVC Male Adapter (SOC x MIPT)
Schedule 80 PVC Male Adapters provide a durable transition between solvent-weld PVC pipe and compatible female-threaded components in pressure piping systems.
Featuring a socket (SOC) connection on one end and a Male Iron Pipe Thread (MIPT) connection on the other, this fitting allows compatible Schedule 80 PVC pipe to transition to threaded valves, fittings, equipment, and other female-threaded connections. Heavy-wall Schedule 80 PVC construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and dependable performance for potable water, industrial, commercial, irrigation, water treatment, and other compatible pressure piping applications.

Connection Configuration
Socket End
The socket connection accepts compatible Schedule 80 PVC pipe for a permanent solvent-weld joint.
Male Threaded End
The MIPT connection threads into a compatible female-threaded fitting, valve, equipment connection, or other piping component.
Construction Details
The adapter is manufactured from high-quality Schedule 80 PVC, providing increased wall thickness and dependable durability for compatible pressure piping applications.
The precision-molded socket end is designed for solvent-cement joining to compatible Schedule 80 PVC pipe, while the male threaded end provides a mechanical connection to compatible female-threaded components.
This mixed-connection design combines a permanent solvent-weld connection with a removable threaded transition in one compact fitting.
Why Choose a Schedule 80 PVC Male Adapter?

Installation
Verify the nominal socket size and male thread size before installation. Confirm compatibility with the intended Schedule 80 PVC pipe and mating female-threaded component.
Cut the PVC pipe square and remove burrs from the pipe end. Clean and prepare the socket connection according to accepted PVC solvent-weld procedures, then apply approved PVC primer and solvent cement as required.
Fully seat the pipe into the socket. For the MIPT connection, use an appropriate thread-sealing method compatible with PVC and the intended application.
Start the male adapter into the female-threaded component by hand to help prevent cross-threading. Avoid excessive tightening, which can place unnecessary stress on the PVC threads or mating fitting.
Our piping specialists can help review your socket size, male thread size, mating component, pressure requirements, chemical compatibility, and installation needs before you order.

What is a Schedule 80 PVC male adapter used for?
It is used to transition from compatible Schedule 80 PVC pipe to a female-threaded component in a pressure piping system.
What does SOC x MIPT mean?
SOC means socket, while MIPT means Male Iron Pipe Thread. One end is solvent welded to PVC pipe and the other threads into a compatible female-threaded connection.
Does the socket end require solvent cement?
Yes. The socket end is designed for approved PVC solvent-weld installation.
What can the MIPT end connect to?
It can connect to compatible female-threaded fittings, valves, equipment connections, and other suitable components.
Should PVC male threads be overtightened?
No. Excessive tightening can damage the threads or place unnecessary stress on the adapter and mating component.
Can this fitting be used for drinking water systems?
The supplied product information identifies NSF/ANSI 61 certification for drinking water system components.
What does NSF/ANSI 14 cover?
NSF/ANSI 14 applies to plastic piping system components and related materials.
What ASTM standards are referenced?
The supplied product information references ASTM D1784 and ASTM F1970.
What CSA standard is referenced?
The supplied information references CSA B137.3 for rigid PVC pipe and fittings used in pressure applications.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the socket size, MIPT size, mating female-threaded component, pressure requirements, temperature requirements, chemical compatibility, and intended application.
