CPVC Threaded Adapter

Product Overview

The CPVC Threaded Adapter is designed to provide a reliable transition between CPVC socket pipe systems and NPT or BSP metal threaded connections. It is available in both male and female threaded configurations, making it a versatile fitting for a wide range of industrial, chemical, and plumbing applications.

Material

Manufactured from Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC), this adapter offers superior performance compared to standard PVC. CPVC withstands higher operating temperatures and pressures, and provides excellent resistance to a broad spectrum of corrosive chemicals, acids, and bases — making it the material of choice for demanding fluid-handling environments.

Thread Types

Available in both NPT (National Pipe Thread) and BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread standards, the adapter accommodates the most common threaded connection types used globally. Male and female variants are offered to suit different installation requirements.

Joining Method

The socket end of the adapter is joined to CPVC pipe using solvent cement (socket weld), creating a permanent, leak-free bond. The threaded end connects directly to metal fittings, valves, or equipment using standard NPT or BSP threads.

Size Range

CPVC Threaded Adapters are available in sizes ranging from 1/4" to 4", covering the majority of residential, commercial, and industrial piping requirements.

Chemical Resistance

CPVC exhibits outstanding resistance to chlorine, acids, alkalis, and many industrial solvents. This makes the threaded adapter particularly well-suited for chemical processing plants, water treatment facilities, and other environments where aggressive media are present.

Standards Compliance

This adapter complies with ASTM F439, the standard specification for chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (CPVC) plastic pipe fittings, Schedule 80. Compliance ensures dimensional accuracy, pressure ratings, and material quality meet recognised industry benchmarks.

Typical Applications

• Industrial piping systems requiring CPVC-to-metal transitions
• Chemical handling and processing plants
• Water treatment and distribution systems
• Commercial and residential plumbing installations
• Connecting CPVC pipe to metal valves, pumps, and equipment
