Installation tips
- For the solvent-weld side, prepare CPVC pipe with appropriate primer and cement, insert fully, and hold until the joint sets per cement instructions.
- On the FPT side, apply a CPVC-compatible thread sealant or Teflon tape rated for potable water, then snug the connection without overtightening.
- Ensure cut CPVC ends are square and deburred for a clean, uninterrupted solvent-weld joint.
- Always verify alignment before final assembly and allow full cure time before pressurizing the system.
