CPVC FTA (Brass)

Description

The CPVC FTA (Brass) is an essential fitting for creating a strong and reliable connection between a plastic CPVC pipeline and a metal system. Made from durable chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this fitting features a solvent-weld socket on one end and a high-quality brass insert with female threads on the other. This combination ensures a permanent, leak-proof bond with the CPVC pipe while providing a robust and corrosion-resistant connection point for threaded metal fittings or fixtures.

Uses:

• Connecting to Metal Systems: The primary use of this fitting is to transition from a CPVC pipeline to a metal component, such as a water meter, a brass valve, a pressure gauge, or a copper pipe with a male threaded end.

• Creating a Durable Connection Point: The brass insert provides superior strength and durability compared to plastic threads, making it ideal for applications that may require frequent connection and disconnection or for components that are subjected to vibration or stress.

• Appliance and Fixture Connection: It is commonly used to connect CPVC supply lines to appliances and fixtures that have a male threaded outlet and require a durable connection.

Advantages:

• Enhanced Strength and Durability: The brass insert provides a significantly stronger and more durable threaded connection than all-plastic fittings, which reduces the risk of thread stripping or cracking over time.

• Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: While the threaded insert is brass, the main body of the fitting is CPVC, ensuring the part of the fitting in contact with the water is resistant to corrosion and chemicals.

• High Temperature and Pressure Resistance: It is designed to handle hot and cold water applications, withstanding temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) and maintaining durability under a wide range of operating pressures.

• Secure and Leak-Proof Connection: The combination of a strong solvent-weld bond and a robust brass-threaded connection ensures a reliable, long-lasting, and leak-proof joint.
