Overview:
This 1/2 In. Slip x 1/2 In. FIP CPVC Transition Brass Union is an essential plumbing fitting designed to facilitate the transition from metal male pipe threads to Chlorinated PolyVinyl Chloride (CPVC) piping. This union is particularly useful in hot water applications, where the differing coefficients of expansion between CPVC and metal pipes can create challenges. With its durable construction and innovative design, this union ensures a reliable and leak-free connection.
Key Features:
- Designed to transition from metal male pipe threads to CPVC piping
- Compensates for the difference in coefficients of expansion between CPVC and metal pipes
- Ideal for hot water applications
- Solvent welds directly to CPVC tube for a secure fit
- Adapts to standard male pipe threads for versatile use
- Manufactured with no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces
- Permits easy disassembly of the piping system for maintenance and repairs
Use Cases:
This transition union is perfect for residential plumbing projects, particularly in areas where CPVC piping is used alongside metal piping. It is ideal for water heater installations, bathroom renovations, and any plumbing system requiring a reliable connection between different pipe materials. Its ease of installation and disassembly makes it a favorite among both professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts.
