Charlotte Pipe XBRS-MA-12LF Cpvc Low Lead Brass Male Adapter

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE XBRS-MA-12LF is a low-lead brass male adapter designed for use in CPVC CTS (Copper Tube Size) hot and cold water distribution systems. This Thompson-style fitting connects a CPVC pipe end to a male iron pipe thread (MIP) fitting, making it a standard transition component in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. Rated for pressure systems where temperatures do not exceed 180 degrees F, the brass construction resists corrosion and complies with low-lead content requirements. The 0.5-inch CTS sizing suits typical supply line and branch line applications.

This adapter is intended for use in pressurized hot and cold water distribution systems built with FlowGuard Gold CPVC CTS pipe and fittings. It is commonly installed at fixture connections, valve transitions, and equipment hookups where a threaded male connection is required. No primer is required for the CPVC socket end, which simplifies installation. Plumbers working on residential potable water systems will encounter this fitting wherever a CPVC-to-threaded-male transition is needed.

Key Features

• Low-lead brass construction meets stringent potable water standards
• Rated for temperatures up to 180 degrees F in pressurized systems
• Thompson style for compatibility with standard CPVC CTS solvent-weld systems
• No primer required on the CPVC socket end, simplifying the joint process
• Corrosion-resistant brass body for long-term service in water distribution
• Manufactured in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for CPVC CTS hot and cold potable water distribution systems requiring a solvent-weld socket to male iron pipe thread transition at the 0.5-inch size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting and fitting. Apply CPVC-rated solvent cement to the socket end only — no primer is required on this fitting, but follow the cement manufacturer's instructions for cure time before restoring pressure. Do not overtighten the threaded male connection; use appropriate thread sealant rated for potable water systems.
