LASCO 436-213BC: 1-1/2 in MPT x 2 in Slip Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Male Adapter

Overview

The LASCO 436-213BC is a PVC reducing adapter designed to help you connect a 1-1/2 inch MPT (male pipe thread) to a 2 inch slip (socket) fitting. Built for Schedule 40 PVC piping, this adapter offers a compact, reliable bridge between threaded and socket connections in many standard plumbing setups.

What makes it work

• 1-1/2 inch Male Pipe Thread
• 2 inch Schedule 40 Slip (Socket) fits 2 inch PVC Pipe (2.375 inches diameter)

Materials and fit matter in everyday projects. The PVC construction is lightweight yet sturdy, designed to resist corrosion and common household chemicals encountered in typical piping environments. The slip socket portion accepts standard 2 inch PVC pipe, providing a clean, flush transition when cemented or joined with compatible connectors.

Where you might use it

• Irrigation and sprinkler lines that need a threaded-to-slip transition
• Residential water supply projects where a compact adapter aids in tight spaces
• Drainage and venting runs that require a dependable PVC connection
• Repairs or upgrades in garages, basements, or outdoor utility areas

Practical handling tips: have primer and cement compatible with Schedule 40 PVC on hand, and follow local plumbing codes when making joint connections. This LASCO adapter offers a straightforward option for converting between thread types, helping you keep lines organized and connections secure without excessive bulk.

Care and maintenance: inspect joints for tightness after installation and during routine checks. When installed correctly, this reducing adapter helps maintain flow paths while integrating into existing PVC systems, thanks to its clean lines and high-visibility brand name.
