Introduction
Before talking about various kinds of CPVC Adapters, let us first find out what is CPVC?
CPVC stands for chlorinated polyvinyl chloride which is a treated plastic that could sustain high temperatures, pressures, is very strong and durable.
CPVC is a suitable raw material for plumbing pipes due to its various characteristics like :
- High temperature resistance
- High impact strength
- Chemical resistance
- Low thermal expansion
- Safe for potable water
- Fast and Easy installation
- Reliable jointing
- Non-combustive
CPVC ADAPTER:
CPVC adapters are fittings that are used to connect a CPVC pipe with any different polymer piping or metallic fixture or equipment in plumbing application. These are alos known as CPVC Transition adapters because they connect the pipeline from CPVC to the other materials. Example To connect a pump to a CPVC pipeline, CPVC adapter is required.
There are many different types of adapters that are available for joining pipes with various kinds of fixtures.
Different types of CPVC adapters are:
- CPVC Plastic threaded Adapters
