CPVC Tank Nipple Socket: Essential Solvent Weld Adapter for Tank Connections

The CPVC Tank Nipple Socket is a specialized fitting designed to connect a CPVC pipe directly to the internal threaded end of a tank nipple (like the CPVC Tank Nipple). It transforms the male-threaded connection inside the tank into a plain (socket/solvent weld) connection, allowing for a permanent, chemical fusion bond with a standard CPVC Pipe. Manufactured by Yug Poly Plast, this socket ensures a strong, high-temperature, and leak-proof joint, making it critical for the internal plumbing of hot and cold water pipeline fittings in storage tanks and cisterns.

What is a CPVC Tank Nipple Socket?

The CPVC Tank Nipple Socket is essentially a female-threaded fitting on one end (to screw onto the tank nipple's male thread) and a plain solvent-weld socket on the other (to receive the CPVC pipe). Its primary function is to eliminate the need for an additional threaded adapter by directly providing a solvent-weld connection inside the tank. This clean, efficient fitting by Yug Poly Plast is essential for creating a smooth flow and permanent bond for the CPVC water pipeline within the tight constraints of a water storage tank, ensuring longevity and safety.

Key Features of CPVC Tank Nipple Socket (Yug Poly Plast Product)

• Direct Pipe Connection:
  • Seamlessly converts the threaded outlet/inlet of a tank nipple into a secure plain-socket connection for CPVC pipe.
• Superior Heat and Pressure Tolerance:
  • Made from high-quality CPVC, it is ideal for hot water tank applications, resisting temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) and maintaining system pressure.
• Corrosion and Scale Resistant:
  • The non-metallic material ensures the fitting remains free from rust, corrosion, and internal scaling, preserving water quality.
• Permanent and Leak-Proof Weld:
  • The solvent weld end guarantees a permanent, chemically fused joint with the CPVC pipe, eliminating the risk of internal tank leaks.
• Easy Threaded Assembly:
  • The female-threaded end is precision-molded for simple and tight assembly onto the tank nipple using PTFE tape.
• Dimensionally Accurate:
  • Ensures perfect alignment and a professional finish inside the water storage tank.

Applications of CPVC Tank Nipple Socket

• Water Storage Tank Internal Plumbing:
  • Used to connect the internal CPVC lines (like down-pipes or feed lines) directly to the tank's threaded nipple connection point.
• Solar Water Heater Tank Connections:
  • Indispensable for making robust connections inside solar storage tanks where high-temperature performance is critical.
• Pump and Cistern Installations:
  • Suitable for providing a fixed pipe connection point inside sumps and booster pump cisterns.
• Industrial Process Tanks:
  • Used in various industrial setups for connecting CPVC supply or drain lines to tank fixtures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Q1: Do I need a gasket with this socket?

  A1: The socket itself does not require a gasket; the seal relies on the thread sealant (PTFE tape) on the threaded end and solvent cement on the pipe end.

• Q2: How do I seal the threaded end?

  A2: Use PTFE tape (Teflon tape) or a thread sealant compound approved for use with CPVC plastic threads when screwing the socket onto the tank nipple.

• Q3: Is the joint inside the tank permanent?

  A3: The pipe-to-socket joint is permanent due to the solvent weld. The threaded joint onto the nipple is openable but requires sealing.

• Q4: Can I use this for non-CPVC pipes?

  A4: No, the plain end is specifically sized for CPVC pipes and requires CPVC solvent cement for a chemical weld. It is not compatible with UPVC or metal pipes.
