What is an HDPE female adaptor?
An HDPE female adaptor joins polyethylene pipe to a male-threaded pipe, nipple or tap. One end grips the HDPE pipe, while the other end has a female BSP thread.
It is used where the mating part has an external thread. For example, it joins HDPE pipe to a GI pipe end or a threaded tap tail.

Key terms explained
- HDPE
- High-density polyethylene, a tough, flexible plastic used for water and gas pipes.
- PE100 and PE80

- PN rating
- Pressure Nominal, the working pressure in bar, such as PN10 or PN16.
- SDR
- Standard Dimension Ratio: outside diameter divided by wall thickness. A lower SDR means a thicker, stronger wall.
- Butt fusion
- Joining two HDPE pipe ends by heating them and pressing them together.
- Compression fitting
- A fitting that seals on the pipe with a nut, split ring and rubber O-ring, with no heat needed.
Features and benefits
- HDPE pipe end plus female BSP thread.
- Joins plastic pipe to male-threaded parts.
- Compression grip on the pipe.
