This fitting is designed for use in FlowGuard Gold CPVC CTS plumbing systems handling hot and cold potable water distribution. It provides a 90-degree directional change while the drop ear design allows the fitting to be fastened to a wall or structural backing, securing the pipe terminus for fixture connections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during rough-in work in both new construction and retrofit applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is intended for pressure systems where operating temperatures do not exceed 180 degrees F. It is suited for residential and light commercial hot and cold water supply lines using CTS-dimensioned CPVC pipe. The drop ear configuration is commonly used at shower arms, tub spouts, and wall-mounted fixture supply stubs where the fitting needs to be anchored to framing before drywall installation. No primer is required when transitioning into CPVC CTS piping, simplifying the installation process. Charlotte Pipe products are manufactured in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow lead brass construction meets stringent potable water contact standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStreet by FPT end configuration allows direct connection to CPVC CTS pipe on one end and female-threaded fixtures or valves on the other\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrop ear design provides a mounting flange for securing to wall framing at fixture stub-out locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for pressure systems up to 180 degrees F, suitable for hot water distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with FlowGuard Gold CPVC CTS systems — does not rust or corrode in potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufactured in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with FlowGuard Gold CPVC CTS hot and cold water distribution systems.
