CPVC Coupling PXP 1/2 inch – Engineered for Secure CPVC System Integration

The CPVC Coupling PXP 1/2 inch is a precision-molded fitting designed for solvent-weld connections in CPVC piping systems. Manufactured from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), this coupling delivers consistent performance in hot and cold water distribution applications. Its slip-fit configuration enables a permanent bond when properly joined using approved solvent cement procedures.

Suitable for use in pressure-rated potable water systems, this coupling ensures chemical resistance and structural integrity across a wide range of operating conditions. The fitting is engineered to meet dimensional and material requirements under ASTM D2846 and other applicable standards.

Key Performance Features

• ✅ CPVC Composition — Provides excellent resistance to scaling, pitting, and internal corrosion, particularly in high-temperature domestic water systems.
• ✅ Slip Connection — Designed for solvent welding using CPVC-compatible primer and cement; offers a secure, permanent bond without threaded or mechanical joints.
• ✅ Thermal Capability — Suitable for continuous service temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) as defined by applicable pressure-temperature ratings.
• ✅ Code Compliance — Certified for use in potable water systems under NSF/ANSI 61 and pressure-rated to applicable plumbing code requirements.

Installation Considerations

Install using the proper CPVC solvent welding process: ensure the pipe and fitting are clean, dry, and properly primed before applying solvent cement. Insert pipe fully and hold until set. Do not pressure-test until curing time has elapsed, per adhesive manufacturer recommendations. No thread sealant or tape is required for slip fittings.

Technical Specifications

• Material: CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
• Size: 1/2 inch nominal
• Connection Type: Slip (solvent weld)
• Standards: Conforms to ASTM D2846, NSF/ANSI 14, NSF/ANSI 61

Applications

Used primarily in hot and cold potable water distribution systems within residential and light commercial buildings. Commonly installed in new construction, renovations, and repairs where CPVC piping is specified. Can be used in both vertical and horizontal runs as part of a pressure-rated system.

Material Note

CPVC piping and fittings maintain dimensional stability and performance at elevated service temperatures, making them suitable alternatives to copper in many water distribution systems.

The CPVC Coupling PXP 1/2 inch is a proven solution for joining CPVC pipe with long-term reliability. It supports code-compliant installation practices and is designed to perform in temperature- and pressure-variable environments typical of domestic water distribution.
