Product Description

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Male Adapter Plastic Threaded (MAPT) provides an economical all-plastic solution for connecting CPVC pipes to female threaded components. This fitting features integrated CPVC male threads molded directly into the body, eliminating metal components while maintaining full system compatibility. The male plastic threads screw into female threaded plastic fittings, tank connections, or accessories.

The monolithic CPVC construction ensures uniform thermal expansion characteristics throughout the fitting, preventing stress from differential expansion between materials. Ideal for overhead tank connections, plastic valve installations, and applications where metal contact is undesirable or where cost optimization is important. The plastic threads provide adequate strength for residential plumbing while offering corrosion immunity and lighter weight compared to brass alternatives.

Recommended Applications

• Overhead Tank Connections: Connecting CPVC pipes to plastic tank outlets and inlets
• Plastic Valve Installations: Connecting to female threaded plastic ball valves
• Float Valve Connections: Tank float valve installations with plastic threads
• Cost-Sensitive Projects: Budget-conscious installations where brass is not required
• Corrosive Environments: Applications where metal corrosion is a concern
• Residential Plumbing: Standard home plumbing where plastic threads are adequate

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

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

MAPT (Male Adapter Plastic Threaded) has molded CPVC male threads, while MABT (Male Adapter Brass Threaded) has brass male threaded inserts. MABT offers superior strength and durability for high-stress applications, while MAPT provides cost savings and corrosion immunity for standard residential use.

2) Can MAPT fittings be used for overhead tank connections?

Yes, MAPT fittings are ideal for overhead tank connections where the tank has female plastic threaded outlets. The all-plastic construction prevents galvanic corrosion and provides adequate strength for typical residential tank installations.

3) How much PTFE tape should I use on plastic threads?

Use 2-3 wraps of PTFE tape on plastic male threads, which is less than the 3-4 wraps used for brass. Plastic threads require gentler tightening, and excessive tape combined with over-tightening can cause the threads to crack.

4) Can MAPT fittings handle hot water applications?

Yes, MAPT fittings are rated for hot water up to 93°C (200°F). However, for high-temperature applications with frequent thermal cycling or high mechanical stress, brass threaded fittings (MABT) may provide better long-term reliability.

5) How tight should I make plastic male threaded connections?

Hand-tighten firmly, then use a wrench for only 1/2 to 1 additional turn. Plastic threads are more fragile than brass and can easily crack or strip if over-tightened. The connection should be snug and leak-free with minimal force.
