Avonplast UPVC 1-1/4″ MTA

The Avonplast UPVC 1-1/4″ MTA (Male Threaded Adapter) serves as a crucial component in UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) piping systems. Here’s an overview of this product:

• Material: Constructed from UPVC, a rigid and durable type of plastic renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance, chemical inertness, and longevity. UPVC is widely favored in piping systems for transporting water, chemicals, and other fluids.
• Design: The UPVC MTA typically features male threads on one end, facilitating its connection to female-threaded fittings like elbows, tees, or valves. The other end of the MTA is designed to accommodate a UPVC pipe with a nominal diameter of 1-1/4 inches.
• Function: The primary role of the MTA is to establish 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 similar tool. The UPVC pipe is subsequently solvent-welded or glued into the socket end of the MTA to complete the connection.
• Applications: MTAs find widespread application in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing installations, as well as irrigation systems, swimming pools, and other settings where UPVC piping is utilized.
• Size: The Avonplast UPVC 1-1/4″ MTA is specifically engineered to accommodate UPVC pipes with a nominal diameter of 1-1/4 inches.
• Corrosion Resistance: UPVC material boasts excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and UV radiation, rendering it suitable for various environments and applications.

In summary, the Avonplast UPVC 1-1/4″ MTA is a dependable and robust fitting employed to create threaded connections in UPVC piping systems. Its robust construction, coupled with UPVC’s corrosion-resistant properties, ensures prolonged performance and reliability across a spectrum of plumbing and fluid handling applications.
