Installation Guide for PVC Pipe Slip x FIPT Female Adapter
Female adapters are used to connect two parts with two different end types; a female adapter has a
female (fipt) socket on side and a slip socket on the opposing side. They are used to adapt a
cemented or solvent welded connection to a male thread connection..
If you want to connect a 3/4 inch threaded pipe to a 3/4 inch smooth pipe, you would use a 3/4 inch
Slip/Fipt Female Adapter
Steps:
1. Before you try to fit your ends together wipe down the threads and apply a PVC thread sealant.
2. Once your sealant is applied insert the male threaded end into the female adapter
3. Hand-tighten the connection until the fitting won’t turn any further
4. At this point you can use a wrench to make one to two more turns. Do not tighten any further
than this! Over-tightening is the main cause of threaded connection leaks.
5. Apply PVC Pipe glue to each PVC pipe to be connected
6. Slip PVC pipe into the Slip end of the female and male adapters
