Schedule 40 PVC male adapters are designed to leave a male threaded finish at the working end of a pipe length.

Sch 40 male adapters are engineered to fit perfectly into Sch 40 sized components with female pipe threads, allowing the adapters to be used with various plumbing setups and applications.
