3/4 inch CPVC Adapter Plastic x Female

Contractor-Grade CPVC Adapter PXF 3/4IN – Designed for Reliable Transitions

The CPVC Adapter PXF 3/4IN is manufactured to support long-term performance in pressurized water distribution systems. Constructed from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), this adapter provides superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in both hot and cold water applications.

Engineered for solvent-weld installation on the hub end and threaded brass or galvanized components on the female end, this adapter ensures a secure transition between copper tube size CPVC pipe and threaded fittings. Ideal for residential and light commercial plumbing, its durability helps reduce system failures and meets stringent building code requirements.

Performance Features

• ✅ High Heat Resistance – Rated for continuous service up to 180°F at 100 PSI (per ASTM D2846).
• ✅ Corrosion-Resistant CPVC – Unaffected by chlorine, scaling, or aggressive water chemistry.
• ✅ Slip x FIPT Configuration – Smooth solvent weld socket transitions to a female iron pipe thread outlet.
• ✅ Pressure-Rated – Suitable for potable water systems in above-ground or accessible concealed locations.

Installation Considerations

Solvent cementing must be performed using CPVC-compatible primer and cement to achieve proper bonding on the socket end. Threaded connections should be sealed with PTFE tape or thread sealant specifically rated for plastic threads to prevent overtightening and cracking. Allow proper curing time as per the adhesive manufacturer’s guidelines before pressurizing the system.

Specifications
