Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Threaded Tank Nipple

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Threaded Tank Nipple provides a reliable connection between overhead water storage tanks and CPVC distribution systems. This specialized fitting features a threaded flange on one end that screws into the tank outlet, and a CPVC socket on the other end for solvent-welding to distribution pipes. The design ensures a watertight seal at the tank connection while maintaining full compatibility with CPVC piping systems.
The robust construction withstands the constant water pressure from overhead tanks, while the corrosion-resistant CPVC material ensures long-term reliability. The threaded flange includes a gasket seating surface for proper sealing against the tank wall. Essential for new tank installations and tank replacement projects, this fitting provides a professional, leak-free connection that eliminates the need for adapters or improvised solutions.
