Bramec 13886 Cpvc Adapter 1/2 Inch Fpt

Product Description

The BRAMEC 13886 is a CPVC adapter fitting with a 1/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection. CPVC fittings like this adapter are used to transition between CPVC pipe and threaded components in hot and cold water distribution systems. The chlorinated polyvinyl chloride construction gives this adapter strong resistance to elevated temperatures and chemical exposure, making it a reliable choice for both potable water and mechanical system plumbing. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of branch line connections, shutoff valve tie-ins, and fixture supply runs.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where CPVC pipe is the primary distribution material. It is commonly installed at transition points where a threaded male fitting, valve, or threaded component needs to connect to a CPVC pipe run. The 1/2 inch FPT size covers the most common nominal pipe size used in branch and fixture supply lines.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection for direct threaded engagement
• CPVC material rated for both hot and cold water service
• Chemical-resistant construction suitable for potable water systems
• Compact adapter profile for use in tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting compatible with 1/2 inch CPVC pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of CPVC fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning any fitting work. Use CPVC-rated solvent cement and primer on the pipe end, and apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threaded component before engaging the FPT connection. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as CPVC threads can crack under excessive torque.
