Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Male Adapter Plastic Threaded – MAPT

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Male Adapter Plastic Threaded (MAPT) provides an economical all-plastic solution for connecting CPVC pipes to female threaded components. This fitting features integrated CPVC male threads molded directly into the body, eliminating metal components while maintaining full system compatibility. The male plastic threads screw into female threaded plastic fittings, tank connections, or accessories.
The monolithic CPVC construction ensures uniform thermal expansion characteristics throughout the fitting, preventing stress from differential expansion between materials. Ideal for overhead tank connections, plastic valve installations, and applications where metal contact is undesirable or where cost optimization is important. The plastic threads provide adequate strength for residential plumbing while offering corrosion immunity and lighter weight compared to brass alternatives.

Installation Guidelines

Pipe Preparation: Cut CPVC pipe squarely; deburr and chamfer pipe end at 10-15? angle

Socket Connection: Clean pipe end and adapter socket; apply CPVC solvent cement; insert pipe with quarter turn
