This adapter provides a simple, reliable way to join threaded components to PVC solvent-weld piping. For best results, follow the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions for the slip connection and apply PTFE tape or an approved thread sealant to the FIPT; avoid over-tightening. Always verify compatibility with local plumbing codes, system pressure ratings and temperature limits before installation.
