We've got you covered!

DWV adapters are specialized transition fittings used to create secure connections between different pipe components in drain, waste, and vent applications. DWV adapters are designed to connect pipes of varying diameters, materials, and joint styles within DWV pipe systems. They ensure a smooth transition and maintain system integrity by preventing leaks and blockages. DWV transition fittings are made to join pipes, fittings, valves, and fixtures to complete pipeline installations necessary for draining wastewater from onsite activities, removing waste from plumbing fixtures, in stormwater management, and venting gasses and odors at residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
Drain, waste, vent adapters are made from PVC thermoplastic to DWV thickness standards. They come in various sizes and product types to provide a tight and secure connection between plumbing sections. Available options for DWV transition adapters include socket to thread adapters, no hub adapters, cast iron adapters, adapter bushings, cleanout adapters, and trap adapters. DWV transition adapters are engineered according to modern industry standards for performance, health, and safety. They are manufactured, tested, and rated to comply with local building and plumbing codes and are approved for use.
Our DWV adapters offer a robust, economical solution engineered for seamless installation and long term reliability in configuring, repairing, or extending DWV networks. Proper use ensures efficient operations, leak prevention, and maintained pressure flow for vent stacks and ventilation systems.
Features and Benefits
- PVC Material: Made from premium PVC material for corrosion resistance, chemical stability, low weight, long term durability, low cost, and low maintenance requirements.
- Hard Working: Standardized PVC provides the ability to withstand the harsh conditions of DWV systems without degrading.
- Smooth Flow: Smooth interior walls minimize friction to maintain flow conditions.
- Versatile Options: A full selection of DWV adapters ensures the right part and the right size is available.
- Cast Iron Adapters: DWV cast iron adapters allow easy, secure transition between metal and PVC piping.
- Sizes: Available in sizes from 1-1/2” to 8” in diameter to meet DWV sizing requirements and project needs.
- Connections: DWV adapters come in slip socket, female threaded, male threaded, and combination connection options.
Quality and Safety Standards
Our PVC DWV adapters are made in the USA by top, trusted manufacturers. DWV adapters are made from ASTM D1784 Cell Class 12454 PVC material. The adapters meet ASTM D2665 and ASTM D3311 standard requirements for drain, waste, vent applications. These standards ensure DWV adapter fittings are consistently manufactured and made from safe, durable materials that can withstand the demands of DWV applications. They are manufactured, tested, and rated to comply with local building and plumbing codes to meet regulations for public and environmental health.
DWV PVC is a strong thermoplastic that resists environmental corrosion, rust, and has excellent resistance against acids, alkalis, oils, and inorganic chemical solutions and vapors. PVC DWV adapter fittings are non flammable, have good electrical insulation, low thermal absorption, and smooth interior walls that resist scaling. DWV transition fittings are rated for temperatures up 140°F (60°C) and have a minimum temperature of 32°F (0°C) for water-based pipe networks.
Applications and Uses
Drain, waste, and vent adapters are used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings and applications in the installation and repair of sanitary networks, waste handling, and sewer systems. They are used to convey effluent streams, such as black water, gray water, and workflow waste from fixtures, drains, and equipment outlets. They are not for use in pressurized applications. DWV adapters are used to join fixtures, traps, cleanouts, and different pipe types together to control and manage waste liquids and gasses created by onsite activities.
Our DWV adapters are a leading choice in quality and performance. They meet industry standards and plumbing codes for DWV systems and are precision engineered to meet the hard working demands of drain, waste, and vent plumbing systems. By adhering to high standards and premium materials, our products are built to meet and exceed expectations.
