Pipe adapters are fittings which are used to terminate or extend pipes. Working of pipe adapters are somewhat similar to that of couplings, the difference is that the adapters join two pipes of different types.
These fittings can also be used to connect pipelines with fittings and accessories such as valves, CP Fittings, Shower heads, taps, pumps, tanks etc.
Pipe adapter fittings are made of many different materials like Copper, Brass, Cast iron, Aluminum, Steel, rubber and polymers. Plastic adapters made of PVC or CPVC plastic are the most modern addition to the collection of pipe adapter fittings.
These are usually fittings with PVC socket in one end and male or female thread on the other.
PVC adapters are light weight, economical and long lasting. However PVC adapters are only recommended for use with cold water. One must take care not to over-tighten them during installation.
