Value Collection 164-313NL Cpvc Female Adapter 1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 164-313NL is a 1/2-inch CPVC female adapter designed for use in Schedule 40 plastic piping systems. This fitting accepts a female iron pipe (FIP) threaded connection, allowing transition between threaded pipe and CPVC solvent-weld systems. CPVC construction provides strong resistance to corrosion and high-temperature water service, making it suitable for both hot and cold potable water lines. Plumbers and pipefitters install this adapter where a threaded connection must be joined to a CPVC run without reducing pressure rating or introducing metal corrosion risk.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations, particularly in domestic hot and cold water distribution systems. Its Schedule 40 rating indicates a standard wall thickness appropriate for typical service pressures in building plumbing. The FIP end accepts a male-threaded fitting or valve, while the plain CPVC end is solvent-welded to the pipe run. Common applications include connections to water heaters, shut-off valves, and fixture supply lines where CPVC is the primary pipe material.

Key Features

• CPVC construction resists corrosion and handles elevated water temperatures
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard residential and light commercial pressure requirements
• FIP end connection accepts standard male-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports
• 1/2-inch fitting size suits common domestic water supply branch lines
• Solvent-weld CPVC end integrates directly into existing CPVC piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 CPVC plumbing systems using 1/2-inch pipe with FIP threaded connections.

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 cutting into any existing pipe. The CPVC solvent-weld end requires the correct CPVC primer and cement rated for the pipe schedule in use. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads before making the FIP connection, and tighten only to hand-tight plus the turns specified by the sealant manufacturer to avoid cracking the fitting.
