Boshart pvcfa-10 Pvc Fpt X Insert Adapter 1 Inch

Product Description

The BOSHART pvcfa-10 is a 1-inch FPT x insert poly adapter manufactured from rigid PVC. It connects female pipe-threaded fittings to insert-style poly tubing in pressurized irrigation lines. PVC construction makes this adapter chemically resistant and unaffected by ultraviolet exposure, allowing above-ground and direct-sun installation without degradation. Because PVC is rigid rather than flexible, it holds a positive seal even when residual water in the line freezes — ice is forced out lengthwise rather than expanding the fitting diameter. Plumbers and irrigation technicians install this fitting in residential, commercial, and industrial irrigation systems.

This adapter is suited for surface-run and shallow irrigation systems where lines may not be buried below the frost line. The rigid PVC material handles freeze-thaw cycling better than flexible fittings in these scenarios. Typical applications include connecting poly mainline tubing to threaded valves, manifolds, or filter housings in drip and sprinkler irrigation layouts. It is equally appropriate for light commercial irrigation infrastructure and residential yard systems.

Key Features

• Rigid PVC construction resists chemicals and UV exposure for above-ground use
• FPT x insert connection joins threaded components directly to poly tubing
• Freeze-tolerant design forces ice out lengthwise, maintaining a positive seal
• Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial irrigation applications
• 1-inch size fits standard 1-inch poly insert tubing and FPT fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit adapter for 1-inch FPT x insert irrigation plumbing assemblies using poly tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line before making or breaking any connections. Insert fittings require a barb-style insert connection secured with appropriate clamps per local irrigation and plumbing codes. Do not overtighten the FPT threaded connection; use thread sealant tape rated for plastic fittings to avoid cracking the fitting body.
