Midland Industries 35403SS 1/2 in Cpvc Female Ips Adapter Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 35403SS is a stainless steel transition adapter designed to connect 1/2 in CPVC pipe to a 1/2 in Female IPS threaded fitting. It serves as a transition point between CPVC piping systems and standard IPS-threaded components, a common requirement in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. The adapter features a 1/2-14 thread specification and measures approximately 1.75 inches in length. Its stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet service environments. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters are the typical installers of this fitting type.

This adapter is suited for use in potable water distribution systems, hot and cold supply lines, and other plumbing assemblies where a transition from CPVC to a female IPS connection is required. It is commonly installed at fixture connections, valve inlets, and supply stops where CPVC runs terminate into threaded iron pipe size fittings. The compact profile fits into tight spaces typical of residential rough-in and retrofit work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply appropriate CPVC solvent cement on the CPVC side per manufacturer instructions, and use a compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape on the IPS threaded connection. Do not overtighten the threaded connection, as stainless steel threads can gall if excessive torque is applied.
