Avonplast UPVC 1-1/2″ FTA

The Avonplast UPVC 1-1/2″ FTA (Female Threaded Adapter) is a crucial component in UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) piping systems. Here’s a description of its key features and functions:

• Material: Constructed from UPVC, a rigid and durable plastic known for its resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and abrasion. This material ensures longevity and reliability in various plumbing applications.
• Design: The FTA is designed with female threads on one end and a socket connection on the other end. The female threads enable easy attachment to male-threaded components like pipes, valves, or fittings, while the socket end accommodates the plain end of a UPVC pipe for a solvent-welded connection.
• Function: The primary function of the FTA is to facilitate a transition between threaded and solvent-welded connections within a UPVC piping system. It allows for straightforward installation and disassembly of components while ensuring a secure, leak-free joint between pipes and fittings.
• Installation: To install the FTA, it is threaded onto a male-threaded component using thread sealant or tape to ensure a tight seal. The plain end of a UPVC pipe is then inserted into the socket end of the FTA and solvent-welded in place using UPVC solvent cement.
• Applications: Suitable for a wide range of applications in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems where UPVC piping is utilized. Common applications include water supply systems, irrigation systems, chemical processing facilities, and more.
• Size: Designed to accommodate UPVC pipes with a nominal diameter of 1-1/2 inches, ensuring compatibility with standard-sized pipes and fittings commonly used in UPVC plumbing installations.
• Corrosion Resistance: The UPVC material provides excellent resistance to corrosion, rust, and chemical degradation, ensuring long-term performance and reliability even in harsh environments.

The Avonplast UPVC 1-1/2″ FTA is a reliable and durable solution for transitioning between threaded and solvent-welded connections in UPVC piping systems. Its robust construction, threaded design, and corrosion-resistant properties make it essential for various plumbing applications.
