• Compatible with standard 1/2″ CPVC pipe with an outside diameter of 0.625 inches
• Suitable for hot and cold water distribution systems
• Provides complete sealing of pipe ends for testing or future system expansion
• Manufactured from CPVC compound for enhanced chemical and temperature resistance

Applications

• Hot and cold potable water distribution
• Industrial process piping
• Chemical handling systems
• Hydronic heating systems
• Corrosive fluid transportation
• Water heater connections
• Plumbing test caps
• System isolation points
• Future expansion preparation

Installation Notes

1. Cut pipe squarely and deburr/clean the connecting end
2. Apply appropriate CPVC primer followed by CPVC cement to both the fitting socket and pipe end
3. Insert pipe fully into socket with a quarter-turn twisting motion
4. Hold in place for 30 seconds to ensure initial bonding
5. Allow proper cure time per cement manufacturer’s instructions before pressure testing
6. For hot water applications, ensure system will not exceed 180°F maximum temperature
