Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Reducing Male Adapter Plastic Threaded – MAPT

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Reducing Male Adapter Plastic Threaded combines two functions in one fitting: reducing pipe diameter and transitioning to threaded connections. This specialized fitting features a socket connection for a smaller diameter CPVC pipe and male plastic threads sized for a larger female threaded component, eliminating the need for separate reducer and adapter fittings.
The all-plastic construction ensures uniform thermal expansion and corrosion immunity, while the integrated design reduces installation time and potential leak points. Ideal for connecting smaller distribution pipes to larger tank outlets or equipment connections where both size change and threaded access are needed. The cost-effective plastic threading provides adequate strength for residential applications.

Recommended Applications

Tank Connections: Connecting smaller pipes to larger tank outlet threads in single fitting

Equipment Hookups: Reducing pipe size while transitioning to threaded equipment connections

Space-Efficient Installations: Combining reduction and threading where space is limited

Cost Optimization: Eliminating separate reducer and adapter fittings

Manifold Outlets: Creating reduced-size threaded outlets from larger manifolds

Renovation Projects: Adapting smaller new pipes to larger existing threaded connections

Installation Guidelines

Size Verification: Confirm fitting size matches your pipe diameter and thread size (e.g., 1/2″ socket x 3/4″ MPT)

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

Socket Connection: Apply CPVC solvent cement; insert pipe with quarter turn and hold 30 seconds

Thread Preparation: After 24-hour cure, wrap male threads with 2-3 layers of PTFE tape

Threaded Connection: Hand-tighten into female component; use minimal wrench force on plastic threads
