Nibco Inc T00057C Cpvc Female Iron Pipe Adapter 1 Inch

Product Description

The NIBCO INC T00057C is a 1-inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) CPVC adapter designed to transition metal male iron pipe threaded fittings to CPVC piping systems. The fitting features a neoprene seal that creates a watertight connection in both hot and cold water applications. An elastomeric gasket provides a secondary leakproof barrier at the joint interface. This adapter is installed by hand tightening only and requires Teflon tape as the thread sealant. Pipe joint compound must not be used. The beige CPVC construction makes it suitable for potable water distribution and general plumbing service where corrosion resistance is required.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a metal threaded male fitting must be connected to a CPVC pipe run. Typical installation scenarios include water supply transitions at valves, meters, and equipment connections. Licensed plumbers and experienced plumbing contractors are the primary installers of this fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications involving CPVC distribution lines.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply Teflon tape to the male iron pipe threads before assembly and hand tighten only — do not use a wrench or pipe joint compound, as overtightening or incompatible sealants can crack the CPVC socket. Inspect the neoprene seal and elastomeric gasket for damage before installation.
