4 in x 3 in PVC Hub Adapter
This PVC hub adapter connects a 4 in pipe to a 3 in pipe using a spigot by hub configuration. It is designed for gravity flow drainage systems in residential or commercial plumbing installations. The Schedule 40 construction provides standard wall thickness for typical drain waste and vent applications. Plumbers and contractors use it when transitioning between different pipe diameters.
White Schedule 40 PVC Construction
The white PVC material resists corrosion and chemical degradation common in drainage environments. Schedule 40 rating indicates the wall thickness suitable for standard gravity flow pressure requirements. The socket and spigot ends allow solvent weld connections without additional seal components. The adapter operates reliably between -20 degrees and 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Reduces 4 in to 3 in Diameter
This fitting handles the transition from a 4 1/2 in outside diameter pipe down to a 3 1/2 in outside diameter pipe. The overall length measures 5 3/4 in, providing sufficient insertion depth for secure solvent welded joints. It suits gravity flow systems only and is not rated for pressurised applications beyond that scope. Builders needing larger reductions or pressure rated fittings must select different components.

Questions about this item
Will the PVC material or the seal need replacement after years of drainage use?
The Schedule 40 PVC body resists corrosion and typical drain chemicals, so the adapter itself rarely needs replacement; only the separate seal may wear and require a new gasket over time.
What is the maximum operating pressure this adapter can handle during continuous flow?
It is rated for gravity flow only, meaning it handles the low head pressure of normal drainage but is not designed for pressurised or pumped systems.
How much heat can the fitting tolerate if hot water runs through it all day?
The PVC is rated from -20 degrees to 140 degrees F, so sustained hot-water discharge up to that temperature will not soften or deform the hub or spigot.
