Avonplast UPVC 1-1/2″ MTA

The Avonplast UPVC 1-1/2″ MTA (Male Threaded Adapter) is a fitting commonly used in UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) piping systems. Here’s a brief overview of this product:

• Material: Made from UPVC, a rigid and durable type of plastic known for its excellent corrosion resistance, chemical inertness, and longevity. UPVC is widely used in piping systems for conveying water, chemicals, and other fluids.
• Design: The UPVC MTA typically features male threads on one end, allowing it to be connected to female threaded fittings such as elbows, tees, or valves. The other end of the MTA is designed to accommodate a UPVC pipe with a nominal diameter of 1-1/2 inches.
• Function: The primary function of the MTA is to provide a secure and leak-proof connection between UPVC pipes and threaded fittings. The male threaded end of the MTA is tightened into the female threads of the fitting, creating a sealed joint that prevents leaks.
• Installation: The MTA is installed by applying thread sealant or tape to the male threads to ensure a tight seal. It is then screwed into the female threads of the fitting using a wrench or other suitable tool. The UPVC pipe is then solvent-welded or glued into the socket end of the MTA to complete the connection.
• Applications: MTAs are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing installations, as well as irrigation systems, swimming pools, and other applications where UPVC piping is used.
• Size: The Avonplast UPVC 1-1/2″ MTA is specifically designed to accommodate UPVC pipes with a nominal diameter of 1-1/2 inches.
• Corrosion Resistance: UPVC material offers excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and UV radiation, making it suitable for use in various environments and applications.

In summary, the Avonplast UPVC 1-1/2″ MTA is a reliable and durable fitting used to create threaded connections in UPVC piping systems. Its sturdy construction, coupled with the corrosion-resistant properties of UPVC, ensures long-term performance and reliability in various plumbing and fluid handling applications.
