Threaded & Socket Adapters

Adapters make the transition from one pipe type or size to a different pipe type or size. Socket adapters come with one socket end, or a female end, that slips over pipe, the other end connects to tubing or dripline. Threaded adapters are commonly used to adapt a sprinkler riser to drip tubing or dripline. These adapters come with one threaded FPT end that screws onto the riser, the other end connects to tubing or dripline.

Key Features

  • Makes the transition from pipe or sprinkler riser to distribution tubing or dripline
  • Designed to work with standard drip irrigation water pressures up to 50 PSI
  • Works with NDS products and other products with compatible connection type

Applications

  • Socket adapters are used to transition from pipe to supply tubing or dripline to transport water to the area to be irrigated
  • Threaded adapters attaches to an underground sprinkler riser and are used to convert a sprinkler system to a drip irrigation system
  • As part of a complete drip irrigation system, the socket adapter or threaded adapter is used to transition from pipe or sprinkler riser to drip irrigation tubing

Installation & Maintenance

  • For the socket adapter: attach pipe to socket, insert supply tubing or dripline 700 Series to other end; solvent weld for a watertight connection
  • For the threaded adapter: remove sprinkler spray head and attach adapter; connect other end to tubing; 1/4 in. swivel fitting connects to 1/4 in. distribution tubing (A220 and A250) or 1/4 in. DuraFlo™ JR dripline
  • Periodically check for leaks or damage and repair as needed; recommended operating pressure for most fittings is up to 50 PSI

Materials & Sustainability

  • Socket adapters are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and cracking
  • Threaded adapters are made of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and cracking
  • Drip irrigation can reduce water usage by up to 70% compared to conventional sprinkler irrigation when used properly; for most drip irrigation products, water is applied precisely and at the rate the soil can accept it to prevent runoff and erosion
