The WESTLAKE PIPE FITTINGS cpvc-fa34 is a 3/4 inch CPVC threaded female adapter designed to transition between female pipe thread and slip socket connections in pressurized water systems. This fitting accepts a male-threaded pipe or fitting on the FPT end and solvent-welds to a plain-end CPVC pipe on the slip end. It is a standard component in hot and cold water distribution piping where a threaded-to-socket transition is required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of adapter during new construction and retrofit work to connect threaded valves, fixtures, or equipment to CPVC piping runs.
This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications involving CPVC pipe systems. Common install scenarios include connecting threaded shutoff valves, unions, or supply lines to a CPVC main or branch line. The FPT x slip configuration is widely used where a valve or fixture with a male NPT end needs to tie into a solvent-welded CPVC system. It is appropriate for potable water service within the pressure and temperature ratings of standard CPVC piping systems.
Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 3/4 inch CPVC pipe systems using solvent-weld connections and NPT-threaded components.
Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. The slip end requires proper CPVC primer and solvent cement applied per the cement manufacturer instructions. Do not overtighten the FPT connection, as CPVC threads can crack under excess torque; use PTFE tape or pipe thread sealant rated for CPVC on the threaded joint.
