This fitting compensates for the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between CPVC and metal pipe, making it suitable for hot water distribution systems where expansion and contraction cycles occur regularly. The brass construction meets low-lead compliance standards, with no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces. A licensed plumber installs this fitting when transitioning from CPVC supply lines to metal threaded connections in residential or light commercial hot water applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis transition union is used in residential and light commercial potable water systems where CPVC piping meets threaded metal pipe or metal valve bodies. Typical installations include hot water supply lines connecting to water heaters, shut-off valves, or distribution manifolds. A CPVC coupling is required separately to complete the CPVC-side connection. The union design allows the piping system to be disassembled without cutting pipe, which simplifies future service or valve replacement work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompensates for thermal expansion coefficient differences between CPVC and metal pipe in hot water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnion configuration permits easy disassembly of the piping system without cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-lead brass construction — no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch CPVC slip socket inlet x 1\/2 inch FIP threaded outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually; available in bulk packs of 20 per box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style transition fitting for 1\/2 inch CPVC hot and cold water supply systems connecting to 1\/2 inch female iron pipe threaded metal components.

Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work. Solvent-cement the CPVC slip side using CPVC-rated primer and cement; do not use PVC cement. Apply pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the FIP threaded connection before assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch CPVC Slip Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch FIP (Female Iron Pipe) Thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Content (Wetted Surfaces)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25% weighted average maximum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.119 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00820633953449\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 545-12-12-B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51343002829106,"sku":"545-12-12-B","price":16.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310549234.jpg?v=1782013425","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/homewerks-worldwide-545-12-12-b-cpvc-brass-transition-union","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
