Boshart UPVCFA-07 Polypropylene Hose Adapter 3/4 in Fpt X Insert

Product Description

The BOSHART UPVCFA-07 is a polypropylene hose adapter designed to connect polyethylene pipe to female pipe thread (FPT) fittings. The insert end accepts the barbed insertion of polyethylene tubing, while the 3/4-inch FPT end threads directly into a female-threaded fitting or valve. Weighing just 0.054 pounds, this lightweight fitting is rated for use in irrigation, water distribution, and similar low-pressure fluid handling systems. Plumbers and irrigation technicians install this adapter where a transition between PE tubing and threaded pipe components is required. Polypropylene construction offers resistance to corrosion and many common chemicals encountered in potable water and agricultural applications.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial irrigation systems, well water distribution lines, and agricultural water supply applications that use polyethylene pipe. The 3/4-inch FPT connection mates with standard threaded valves, manifolds, and pipe fittings. The insert barb end accepts 3/4-inch polyethylene tubing secured with clamps. Follow the manufacturer clamping procedure: for sizes 1/2 inch to 1 inch, use one clamp positioned directly over the barbs. For sizes over 1-1/4 inches, use one clamp over the barbs and one behind the barbs.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch FPT x 3/4-inch insert configuration for PE-to-threaded transitions
• Polypropylene construction resists corrosion and common chemicals
• Lightweight at 0.054 pounds — minimal load on fittings and tubing
• Compatible with standard barb clamp installation procedures
• Suitable for irrigation, well water, and agricultural water supply lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for polyethylene pipe systems using 3/4-inch female pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or irrigation technicians. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any connections. Insert the barbed end fully into the polyethylene tubing before applying clamps — use one clamp directly over the barbs for sizes 1/2 inch through 1 inch. Thread the FPT end by hand first, then tighten with appropriate wrenches; do not overtighten polypropylene fittings as this may crack the fitting body.
