PVC Schedule 40 trap adapter
This PVC Schedule 40 trap adapter connects a 1 1/2 in hub to a 1 1/4 in socket for gravity-flow drainage. It is intended for residential or light commercial plumbing installations where solvent-weld joints are required.
Capacity and headroom
The fitting accepts pipe outside diameters of 1 21/32 in and 1 29/32 in, matching standard Schedule 40 dimensions. It handles typical sink and lavatory drain loads but is not rated for pressurised systems or high-temperature discharge beyond its specified range.
Temperature and pressure limits
Maximum operating temperature is 140 Degrees F with a lower limit of -20 Degrees F, suitable for normal waste lines. Gravity-flow pressure rating means it cannot be used in pumped or pressurised applications, and the seal is not included in the package.

Questions about this item
Will the 1 1/2 in hub on this Mueller 1WKU3 adapter fit my existing Schedule 40 PVC drain pipe?
Yes, the hub is sized for 1 1/2 in Schedule 40 pipe with a 1 21/32 in outside diameter, matching standard PVC drain sizing.
How can I confirm the joint is watertight after installing the 1WKU3 trap adapter?
Run water through the drain and inspect the slip-nut connection at the 1 1/4 in socket; no drips means the included washer is sealing correctly.
Does the 1WKU3 package come with the slip washer, or do I need to buy one separately?
The adapter includes the slip nut and washer, so no extra sealing parts are required for the 1 1/4 in socket connection.
