Charlotte Pipe XBRS-MA-112LF Cpvc Cts Male Adapter 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE XBRS-MA-112LF is a 1-1/2-inch low-lead brass male adapter designed for CPVC CTS (Copper Tube Size) piping systems used in residential and commercial hot and cold water distribution. This Thompson-style fitting transitions from a CPVC socket connection to a male iron pipe (MIP) threaded end, allowing techs to connect CPVC runs to threaded brass or metal fittings without additional adapters. The low-lead brass construction meets current federal and state potable water standards. It is rated for pressure systems where water temperatures do not exceed 180 degrees F, making it a code-compliant choice for domestic water service in a wide range of building types.

This adapter is used in FlowGuard Gold CPVC CTS hot and cold water distribution systems installed in residential and light commercial plumbing. Typical applications include connecting CPVC supply lines to water heaters, valves, fixtures, or other threaded components. The CTS sizing is compatible with standard CPVC tubing dimensions. No primer is required when solvent-welding the CPVC socket end, which simplifies the installation workflow on the job. The non-toxic materials and corrosion-resistant brass body make this fitting appropriate for potable water systems in both new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Low-lead brass construction meets federal and state lead-free potable water requirements
• Thompson-style MIP x CPVC design bridges threaded metal fittings and CPVC CTS runs in a single component
• Rated for continuous service up to 180 degrees F in pressurized hot and cold water systems
• CPVC socket end requires no primer, reducing installation steps and material cost
• Corrosion-resistant brass body does not rust, extending service life in potable water environments
• Manufactured in the USA

Compatibility

Designed for use with FlowGuard Gold CPVC CTS hot and cold water distribution systems. Fits 1-1/2-inch CTS CPVC tubing on the socket end and connects to 1-1/2-inch male iron pipe threads on the metal side.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the IPC and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system before cutting into any existing line. Solvent-weld the CPVC socket end using a compatible CPVC cement — no primer is required per manufacturer guidance, but always verify with local code. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MIP threads before making the threaded connection, and do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
