Campbell fap4 Pvc Insert X Female Thread Adapter 1 Inch

Product Description

The CAMPBELL fap4 is a molded PVC insert adapter designed to transition from flexible polyethylene tubing to female NPT-threaded components. The fitting connects on one side via a barbed insert end that grips the interior of PE tubing and seals under clamp pressure, and on the other side via a female NPT thread that mates with threaded valves, fittings, or manifolds. No solvent cementing is required on the insert end. At 1 inch on both the insert and female thread sides, the fap4 suits standard 1-inch PE tubing runs in low-pressure utility piping systems. Installation is handled by irrigation technicians, plumbers, and agricultural water system installers.

This adapter is used in cold water distribution applications including residential irrigation systems, agricultural water supply lines, and utility service connections where flexible PE tubing must transition to a threaded connection point. The fitting is not rated for hot water service. Typical installations include field laterals, pump discharge connections, and valve station inlets where PE tubing terminates at a threaded component. The 1-inch size accommodates high-flow residential and light commercial irrigation zones.

Key Features

• Insert end accepts 1-inch flexible polyethylene tubing with mechanical clamp securing
• Female NPT thread on opposite end connects to standard threaded valves, fittings, and manifolds
• Molded PVC construction resists corrosion and is compatible with cold water service
• Solvent-free installation on the insert end simplifies field assembly
• Compact profile at 2.7 inches in length suits tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit insert adapter for 1-inch flexible polyethylene tubing systems terminating at female NPT-threaded components in cold water irrigation and agricultural piping applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before making any connections. The insert end requires a stainless steel or galvanized clamp tightened over the PE tubing to ensure a leak-free seal. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads of the mating component before engaging the female NPT thread on this adapter. Do not use this fitting in hot water or pressurized steam applications.
