Watts 710012 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Watts 710012 female adapter made of, and will it handle chemical drainage?
The body is FRPP, flame retardant polypropylene. That's the material Watts uses for its Blueline acid waste drainage line, so it's intended for corrosive and chemical waste service in labs, hospitals and schools rather than ordinary DWV copper or PVC work.
2) How does a no-hub Blueline fitting join to the pipe, and do I need to solvent weld or fuse it?
No solvent, no fusion. The 710012 uses a no-hub connection, meaning the plain pipe end and the fitting shoulder are joined with a clamp and elastomeric coupling sized for the pipe. That makes it a mechanical joint you can take apart later, which is why it's often chosen where the run has to be serviced.
3) Why would I use a female adapter instead of a male adapter on an acid waste line?
A female adapter gives you internal threads, so it accepts a male-threaded component coming into the drainage system, a threaded trap adapter, a nipple, or a piece of equipment tailpiece. If the item you're connecting has female threads, you want the male adapter version instead. The 710012 is the female, no-hub by 1-1/2 inch configuration.
4) Do I get the coupling and clamp with the Watts 710012 adapter?
No. The 710012 is the fitting only. No-hub joints need a separate coupling and clamp band sized for 1-1/2 inch pipe at each connection, so count those into the order along with whatever male-threaded part goes into the female end.
5) What is the wall thickness on the Watts 710012?
0.15 inch. That wall matters on a lab waste system because it sets the fitting's resistance to hot corrosive discharge and it is what you match when you're tying into existing FRPP no-hub pipe of the same schedule.
6) What do I order this Watts Blueline adapter by?
Order by manufacturer part number 710012. It's a single configuration, no finish or handing options, 1-1/2 inch no-hub female adapter in FRPP.
