Ashirvad Flowguard Plus Reducing Female Adapter Brass Threaded – FABT

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus Reducing Female Adapter Brass 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 brass female threads sized for a larger male threaded component, eliminating the need for separate reducer and adapter fittings.
The durable brass threading ensures long-term reliability and corrosion resistance, while the integrated design reduces installation time and potential leak points. Ideal for connecting smaller distribution pipes to larger threaded fixtures or equipment where both size change and threaded access are needed. The brass threads provide superior strength compared to plastic alternatives, making this fitting suitable for high-stress applications.

Installation Guidelines

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

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 of fixture with 3-4 layers of PTFE tape

Threaded Connection: Hand-tighten male component into female brass threads; use wrench for final 1-2 turns
