Ashirvad Flowguard Plus Reducing Male 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 male threads sized for a larger female 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 tank outlets or equipment connections 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.

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
High-Stress Applications: Connections requiring superior thread strength and durability
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 brass threads with 3-4 layers of PTFE tape
Threaded Connection: Hand-tighten into female component; use wrench for final 1-2 turns
