Product Description

Ashirvad CPVC Brass Female Threaded Adaptor (FABT) provides the essential link between CPVC piping systems and male threaded plumbing components. This hybrid fitting features a CPVC socket connection on one end for permanent solvent welding to pipes, and a brass female threaded connection on the other end for screwing in male threaded fixtures, valves, or appliances. The brass insert ensures long-term reliability and allows for easy disassembly when needed.

The corrosion-resistant brass threading maintains integrity in both hot and cold water applications, while the CPVC body ensures full compatibility with Flowguard Plus systems. Essential for connecting to taps, showers, ball valves, geysers, and any equipment with male pipe threads. The removable threaded connection provides maintenance access without cutting pipes, making it ideal for fixture installations and equipment that may require future replacement.

Recommended Applications

• Fixture Connections: Connecting CPVC supply lines to taps, showers, basin mixers, and faucets
• Valve Installations: Mounting threaded ball valves, gate valves, and shut-off valves
• Geyser Hookups: Hot and cold water connections to water heater threaded inlets/outlets
• Appliance Connections: Washing machines, dishwashers, and water purifier installations
• Manifold Outlets: Creating threaded outlets on distribution manifolds
• Equipment Access: Any connection requiring future disassembly for maintenance

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) What's the difference between FABT and MABT fittings?

FABT (Female Adapter Brass Threaded) has female brass threads that accept male threaded components. MABT (Male Adapter Brass Threaded) has male brass threads that screw into female threaded components. Use FABT for connecting to taps, showers, and valves with male threads, and MABT for connecting to female threaded equipment.

2) Do I need PTFE tape when using FABT fittings?

Yes, always apply PTFE thread seal tape to the male threads of the component you're screwing into the FABT. Use 3-4 wraps of white PTFE tape wound in the clockwise direction. This ensures a leak-free seal and allows for easier disassembly in the future.

3) Can FABT fittings be used for hot water applications?

Yes, Ashirvad FABT fittings are rated for hot water service up to 93°C (200°F). They're ideal for geyser connections, solar water heater installations, and hot water distribution. The brass insert maintains its integrity at high temperatures without degradation.

4) Can I remove and reconnect fixtures installed with FABT fittings?

Yes, the brass threaded connection can be unscrewed and reassembled as needed for maintenance or fixture replacement. However, the CPVC socket connection is permanent and cannot be disassembled. This makes FABT fittings ideal for connections that may need future access.

5) How tight should I make the threaded connection on a FABT?

Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for 1-2 additional turns. Over-tightening can crack the CPVC body or damage the brass insert. The connection should be snug and leak-free without excessive force. If leaks occur, check PTFE tape application rather than over-tightening.
