Description
Westlake Pipe & Fittings 436060 6″ MPT x Slip Male Adapter
The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 436060 6″ MPT x Slip Male Adapter is a heavy-duty Schedule 40 PVC fitting designed to create a secure transition between solvent-weld PVC piping and threaded connections. It features a 6-inch slip socket on one end and 6-inch male pipe threads (MPT) on the other, allowing seamless integration with threaded valves, pumps, tanks, and other female-threaded components. This makes it a practical solution for municipal, industrial, irrigation, wastewater, and large-scale commercial plumbing systems.
Constructed from high-quality PVC, the 436060 adapter offers excellent resistance to corrosion, chemical exposure, moisture, and environmental wear. Unlike metal fittings, it will not rust, pit, or degrade over time, making it suitable for indoor, outdoor, and underground installations. Its rigid structure maintains dimensional stability under standard operating pressures, supporting long-term system reliability.
The slip socket end is designed for solvent-weld installation with standard 6-inch PVC pipe. When properly bonded with primer and cement, it forms a strong, leak-resistant joint that becomes an integral part of the piping system. The smooth interior of the socket promotes even cement distribution for a secure connection.
The male threaded end is precision-molded to meet industry standards, ensuring compatibility with properly sized female-threaded fittings. When used with appropriate thread sealant, it provides a tight, dependable seal while still allowing disassembly for maintenance or future system modifications. Lightweight yet durable, the adapter is easier to handle than comparable metal fittings, helping reduce installation time while delivering a stable, long-lasting transition point within the piping network.
