CPVC FTA Plastic

Description

The CPVC FTA, or Female Threaded Adapter, is an essential fitting for bridging the gap between a solvent-weld CPVC piping system and a threaded connection. Made from durable chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this fitting is expertly engineered to provide a secure and leak-proof joint. The solvent-weld end ensures a permanent bond with the pipe, while the female threaded end allows for a temporary or permanent connection to other threaded fittings, valves, or fixtures.

Uses:

• Connecting to Male-Threaded Fittings: The primary use of an FTA is to transition from a CPVC pipe to a male threaded fitting or fixture, such as a valve or a pump.

• Fixture Connection: It is commonly used to connect CPVC supply lines to fixtures with a male threaded outlet, such as certain types of water meters or specialty faucets.

• Creating Service Points: FTAs can be installed at strategic points in a plumbing system to create a service point that can be easily connected to or disconnected from.

Advantages:

• Secure and Reliable Connection: The combination of a strong solvent-weld bond and a tight threaded connection ensures a reliable, leak-proof joint. The plastic threads are less prone to rust and corrosion than metal, ensuring a long-lasting seal.

• Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: Like other CPVC fittings, the FTA will not rust, scale, or corrode over time, ensuring a clean and consistent water flow. It is also resistant to a variety of common 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.

• Simplified Installation: The fitting can be easily joined to a CPVC pipe with solvent cement, and the threaded end allows for a straightforward connection to other components. This simplifies complex transitions in a plumbing layout.
