Spears 4136-007 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Spears 4136 CPVC male adapter come in?
The Spears 4136 CTS male adapter is made in 1/2 inch (4136-005), 3/4 inch (4136-007), 1 inch (4136-010), 1-1/2 inch (4136-015) and 2 inch (4136-020). Order by the trade size of the CPVC pipe the socket end glues onto; the MIPT thread matches that same nominal size.
2) Will a Spears CTS male adapter fit my CPVC pipe, or do I need a Schedule 80 fitting?
CTS and Schedule 80 are different dimensional systems and they do not interchange. The 4136 adapter is molded to CTS (Copper Tube Size), which is what residential and commercial CPVC hot and cold water pipe (the tan/cream CTS pipe) uses. If your run is gray Schedule 80 CPVC industrial pipe, the socket will not fit and you need an IPS-dimensioned adapter instead.
3) Can I use a CPVC male adapter to connect to a copper stub-out or a brass valve?
That is exactly what the 4136 is for. The male iron pipe thread screws into any female NPT port, so a threaded brass valve, a threaded copper adapter, a water heater nipple, or a threaded fixture connection all take it. Thread it into the metal, then solvent weld the socket end to your CPVC line. Use a thread sealant rated for plastic threads and hand tighten plus a turn or two; do not overtighten a plastic male thread into metal.
4) Which end threads and which end glues on the Spears 4136 male adapter?
One end is a male iron pipe thread (MIPT) that screws into a female threaded valve, fixture, or metal pipe. The other end is a socket, meaning it slips over the outside of the CPVC pipe and is solvent welded. So the fitting always takes the pipe on the outside of the tube and puts the thread facing the fixture.
5) Is this CPVC adapter OK for hot water lines?
CPVC is the plastic used for hot and cold potable water distribution, and the 4136 adapter is built for that service, including CPVC-to-threaded-fixture transitions at water heaters and fixtures. It also resists corrosion and scaling, which is where metal threaded transitions tend to fail first.
6) Do I need a male or a female CPVC adapter for my job?
Look at the part you are connecting to. If that component has a female threaded port (a valve body, a water heater tapping, a fixture stop), you want this male adapter, MIPT x socket. If the component has a male thread sticking out, you need the female counterpart, FIPT x socket, instead. Both terminate in a solvent weld socket on the CPVC side.
7) How is the Spears 4136 male adapter packaged for bulk stocking?
It is supplied 1000 each per case, which is aimed at contractors running high volume plumbing installations and distributors carrying standing stock of common CPVC adapters.
