Nibco CB03600 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How does the Nibco 5104 CPVC male adapter connect on each end?
One end is a female socket for solvent cement, the other is a male NPT thread. That makes it the transition piece when you need to take a solvent welded CPVC line into a threaded connection, like a valve, pump port, or metal nipple. The socket side gets cemented to Schedule 80 CPVC pipe; the threaded side screws in.
2) What is the maximum temperature the Nibco 5104 CPVC adapter can handle?
Maximum service temperature is 210 degrees F. That is the reason to use CPVC instead of PVC on hot water and process lines. Pressure rating drops as temperature rises, so size your system against the Corzan CPVC pressure and temperature data for the service you are running.
3) Is the Nibco 5104 adapter approved for potable water?
It is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 14 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 61, and it is listed for lead-free applications. The fitting also meets ASTM F439 for Schedule 80 CPVC socket fittings. Common uses are commercial plumbing, industrial process, and irrigation.
4) Can I use a CPVC male adapter on a compressed air line?
No. Do not use or test this fitting with compressed air or other gases. It is a liquid service fitting only, and that includes pressure testing, which should be done hydrostatically.
5) What pipe sizes does the Nibco 5104 male adapter come in?
Nine sizes, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2, 3 and 4 inch. Order by size, for example CB03500 for 1/2 inch, CB03750 for 2 inch and CB03756 for 4 inch. Sizes are straight size, so the socket and thread match on both ends.
6) Do I need Teflon tape on the threaded end of a CPVC male adapter?
The male end is NPT thread, so it seals with a thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for CPVC. Nothing is included with the fitting, and the socket end needs CPVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 80. Plan on both consumables to finish the joint.
7) Why is this CPVC fitting light grey instead of the usual tan?
Corzan CPVC Schedule 80 industrial fittings are light grey. Tan or cream is typically CTS CPVC used for residential hot and cold water. The grey identifies this as the Schedule 80 industrial line, matching grey Corzan Schedule 80 pipe on the jobsite.
8) Will CPVC hold up in a corrosive industrial line better than metal pipe?
Corzan CPVC will not rust, scale, pit or corrode, which is why it gets specified for chemical and process lines where steel or copper fails. It also runs maintenance-free and is light enough to handle overhead without rigging. Check the specific chemical against Chemtrol chemical resistance data for your service before committing.
