Threaded finish. Code-clean join.
Make a neat threaded transition in your ABS line: the hub end solvent-welds to Schedule-40 ABS, while the FIPT (female NPT) threads accept a matching male pipe thread—ideal for traps, cleanouts, or appliance tie-ins in non-pressurized DWV systems. Built to the ABS DWV standards ASTM D2661 / CSA B181.1, with typical cUPC listing for Canadian inspections. Max service temperatures for ABS DWV fittings are commonly cited around 140 °F (60 °C).
Features
- Purpose: Adapts a solvent-weld hub connection to a female NPT (FIPT) threaded outlet—used across residential/commercial DWV layouts.
- Thread spec: FIPT/FPT = female NPT pipe thread (standard tapered pipe thread in North America).
- DWV-only: For gravity, non-pressure drain/vent service; ABS DWV fittings are installed with solvent cement.
- Code & listings: ABS DWV fittings are manufactured to ASTM D2661 and CSA B181.1 and are commonly cUPC-certified for CA/US code compliance.
- Safety note: Manufacturers warn against air-testing plastic DWV (hydrostatic methods only) due to explosion risk.
