📦 Product description:
A 3/4-inch CPVC socket × brass male pipe thread adapter used to transition from plastic CPVC piping to threaded metal fittings.
Example of this exact style:
🧾 Breaking it down:
-
FG → FlowGuard Gold CPVC system (brand/type of CPVC piping)
-
3/4 → Pipe size (3/4 inch)
-
CPVC → Solvent-weld socket side (glues to CPVC pipe)
-
BRASS → Metal insert material (strong threaded side)
-
MPT → Male Pipe Thread (NPT-style threads that screw into valves, fittings, etc.)
🔧 What it’s used for:
This fitting is used when you need to connect CPVC piping to:
- Brass valves (ball valves, hose bibs, regulators)
- Water heaters
- Metal manifolds
- Pumps or equipment with threaded inlets/outlets
Typical transition point in plumbing systems:
- Plastic (CPVC) → metal threaded connection
⚙️ Key features:
- Solvent-weld CPVC socket end (permanent glue joint)
- Brass threaded male end (removable connection)
- Lead-free brass (in potable water-rated versions)
- Rated for hot/cold potable water systems (typically up to ~180°F depending on brand)
- High pressure-rated (often 200–500 PSI depending on manufacturer)
🧠 Simple explanation:
It’s basically a glue-on CPVC fitting that turns into a threaded brass connector so you can hook plastic pipe up to metal valves or equipment.
⚠️ Important note:
- CPVC side is permanent (cemented)
- Brass threads require thread seal tape or pipe dope
- Must avoid over-tightening into plastic-thread transitions (only brass side is threaded)
