CPVC Plain FTA: Female Threaded Adapter for Connecting CPVC Pipe to Male Threads

The CPVC Plain FTA (Female Threaded Adapter) is an essential fitting used to join a plain-end CPVC pipe to an external male-threaded fitting, such as a metal pipe, tap connector, or pump outlet. This adapter facilitates a secure, non-corrosive transition between the CPVC distribution system and metal components. Manufactured by Yug Poly Plast, our CPVC fitting is built for high-temperature resistance and guarantees a strong, leak-proof connection, making it indispensable for robust hot and cold water pipeline fittings in all types of installations.

What is a CPVC Plain FTA?

The CPVC Plain FTA features a plain (socket/solvent weld) connection on one side for permanent chemical fusion to a CPVC pipe, and a female (internal) threaded port on the other. This female thread is designed to securely receive a male-threaded pipe or fitting. The use of CPVC for the FTA acts as an important dielectric barrier, preventing the galvanic corrosion that can occur when metal pipes and fittings touch directly. Yug Poly Plast ensures that this adapter is dimensionally accurate, providing a perfect fit and long-term reliability for your CPVC water pipeline.

Key Features of CPVC Plain FTA (Yug Poly Plast Product)

• Corrosion Protection:
  • Made from non-metallic CPVC, it isolates metal fittings, effectively preventing rust and galvanic corrosion in mixed systems.
• High-Temperature Performance:
  • Suitable for continuous use in hot water systems, resisting temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) without degradation.
• Precision Female Threads:
  • Internal threads are accurately molded to standard specifications (e.g., BSPT/NPT), ensuring a tight, reliable seal when paired with standard male threads using an appropriate sealant.
• Permanent Pipe Connection:
  • The plain socket end allows for a quick and durable solvent-weld bond to the CPVC pipe, providing maximum tensile strength.
• Wide Application Range:
  • Available in common sizes (1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch) to suit various plumbing and industrial transition needs.
• Superior Chemical Resistance:
  • Highly resistant to the effects of chlorine and most household chemicals, contributing to the purity and flow of the water system.

Applications of CPVC Plain FTA

• Connecting to Tap Spouts and Faucets:
  • Used commonly to attach the CPVC line to the threaded spouts of wall-mounted taps and fixtures.
• Water Meter and Pressure Gauge Integration:
  • Essential for providing a connection point for external male-threaded gauges, sensors, and water meters.
• Bridging Different Materials:
  • Ideal for connecting new CPVC pipe runs to existing galvanized iron (GI) or other male-threaded metal pipes.
• Filtration System Hook-ups:
  • Used to connect CPVC lines to the threaded inlets of water filters and purification systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Q1: What is the proper way to seal the threaded connection?

  A1: Always use a generous amount of PTFE tape (Teflon tape) or a pipe thread sealant compatible with CPVC plastic threads to ensure a leak-free seal.

• Q2: What is the difference between an MTA and an FTA?

  A2: MTA has Male (external) threads, connecting to a female port. FTA has Female (internal) threads, connecting to a male port.

• Q3: Should I avoid using pipe wrenches on the FTA?

  A3: It is recommended to use minimal force. Tighten by hand and then use a strap wrench or wrench on the wrench-flats (if provided) to avoid damaging the plastic threads.

• Q4: Is the solvent weld connection permanent?

  A4: Yes, when properly applied, CPVC solvent cement chemically welds the pipe and the socket together, creating a permanent joint.
