Westlake Pipe & Fittings 436-040 Male Adapter, 4″ MPT x 4″ Slip
The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 436-040 Male Adapter, 4″ MPT x 4″ Slip, is a high-quality PVC fitting designed to provide a seamless transition between male-threaded pipe connections and standard slip PVC pipes. Engineered for durability, reliability, and professional-grade performance, this male adapter is ideal for a wide variety of plumbing applications, including pool and spa systems, irrigation networks, residential and commercial water systems, and industrial fluid transfer. It offers a leak-resistant, secure connection that ensures efficient fluid flow and long-lasting performance.
Constructed from premium Schedule 40 PVC, the 436-040 Male Adapter offers excellent resistance to corrosion, chemical exposure, and UV degradation. Unlike metal fittings, this PVC adapter will not rust, scale, or deteriorate over time, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. Its durable construction allows it to withstand high-pressure water flow, temperature fluctuations, and continuous use, providing a reliable solution for contractors, pool professionals, and irrigation specialists.
The 4-inch MPT (Male Pipe Thread) end is designed to easily screw into any standard 4-inch female-threaded fitting, providing a strong, secure, and leak-resistant connection. The 4-inch slip socket allows for quick and easy solvent-weld installation onto 4-inch PVC pipe. This dual-connection design ensures versatility and adaptability in a wide range of plumbing systems. Once installed, the smooth interior maintains consistent flow while reducing turbulence, which is crucial in systems such as pool returns, spa circulation, irrigation networks, and industrial water transfer pipelines.
The Westlake 436-040 Male Adapter is highly versatile and suitable for both new installations and retrofit projects. It can be used to connect threaded equipment, such as pumps, valves, or filters, to standard PVC piping without the need for additional adapters or complex plumbing modifications. Its lightweight yet robust construction allows for easy handling during installation while maintaining structural integrity and long-term reliability in demanding applications.
Precision manufacturing ensures that both the MPT threads and slip socket meet strict dimensional standards, providing a secure and accurate fit with other Schedule 40 PVC components. This precision minimizes the risk of leaks, misalignment, or connection failure, delivering a dependable and durable solution for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Applications for the 436-040 Male Adapter include pool and spa plumbing, irrigation systems, residential and commercial water lines, industrial fluid transfer, and municipal water management. Its durable design, professional-grade construction, and smooth interior make it a reliable and essential component for any PVC piping system requiring a transition from threaded connections to slip pipe.
