Product Description

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC 90° Elbow Brass bridges the gap between CPVC piping systems and threaded plumbing fixtures. This hybrid fitting features a CPVC socket connection on one end for solvent welding to CPVC pipes, and a brass female threaded connection on the other end for attaching taps, showers, geysers, and other threaded fixtures. The 90-degree configuration allows for right-angle transitions from pipe to fixture.

The brass threaded insert is securely molded into the CPVC body, creating a permanent, leak-resistant connection point. The corrosion-resistant brass ensures long-term reliability when connecting to metal fixtures, while the CPVC body maintains compatibility with the complete Flowguard Plus system. Essential for fixture connections, appliance hookups, and transitioning between CPVC and threaded components.

Recommended Applications

• Fixture Connections: Connecting CPVC supply lines to taps, showers, and basin mixers
• Geyser Installations: Hot and cold water connections to water heater threaded inlets/outlets
• Appliance Hookups: Washing machines, dishwashers, and water purifier connections
• Valve Mounting: Connecting CPVC pipes to threaded ball valves and shut-off valves
• Tank Connections: Overhead tank outlet connections to distribution pipes
• Fixture Supply Lines: Final connections from concealed piping to visible fixtures

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) Do I need PTFE tape on the brass threaded connection?

Yes, always apply PTFE thread seal tape to the brass female threads before connecting fixtures or valves. Use 3-4 wraps of white PTFE tape wound in the clockwise direction. This ensures a leak-free seal and allows for easy disassembly if needed in the future.

2) Can I use this fitting for hot water applications?

Yes, Ashirvad Flowguard Plus brass 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.

3) What's the difference between FABT and FPT brass fittings?

FABT (Female Adapter Brass Threaded) and FPT (Female Pipe Thread) refer to the same type of fitting with female brass threads. The socket end connects to CPVC pipe via solvent cement, while the brass threaded end accepts male threaded fixtures. This 90° elbow version creates a right-angle connection.

4) Can I disassemble the threaded connection later?

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 brass threaded fittings ideal for connections that may need future access.

5) How tight should I make the threaded connection?

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.
