Avonplast CPVC MTA 1-1/2″ Fittings

Avonplast CPVC MTA (Male Threaded Adapter) 1-1/2″ fittings are essential components used in CPVC plumbing systems to connect CPVC pipes with male threads to other pipes, fittings, or fixtures with compatible female threads. Here’s an overview of these fittings:

1. Material: Constructed from CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride), a thermoplastic material known for its excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature tolerance, making it suitable for hot and cold water applications.
2. Size: The MTA has a nominal size of 1-1/2 inches, which refers to the diameter of the pipe it is designed to connect. The actual thread size matches standard NPT (National Pipe Thread) sizing conventions for compatibility with other plumbing components.
3. Design: The MTA features male threads on one end, allowing it to be screwed into female-threaded pipes, fittings, or fixtures securely. The other end of the MTA is designed to accept CPVC pipes, which can be solvent cemented or glued into place for a watertight seal.
4. Application: Avonplast CPVC MTA fittings are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems for various applications, including water distribution, drainage, and irrigation. They provide a reliable and durable connection method for joining CPVC pipes with threaded components.
5. Corrosion Resistance: CPVC material offers superior resistance to corrosion, chemical degradation, and scaling compared to traditional metal fittings, making it suitable for use in various water conditions, including corrosive environments.
6. Installation: Installation of Avonplast CPVC MTA fittings involves threading the male end into the female-threaded component and solvent cementing the CPVC pipe into the other end. Proper preparation of pipe ends, application of solvent cement, and adherence to manufacturer instructions are essential for a secure and leak-free connection.

Overall, Avonplast CPVC MTA 1-1/2″ fittings provide a reliable, corrosion-resistant, and easy-to-install solution for connecting CPVC pipes to threaded components in plumbing systems, ensuring long-lasting performance and water-tight seals.
