PVC to Copper Straight Adapter 1" x 18" long, Slip PVC x Male Sweat

Transition from a PVC service line to a copper pipe.

GUIDELINES and CAUTION

Do not expose any PVC transition area of fitting to heat in excess of 140°F. Excessive HEAT will distort and deform the PVC insert and damage the O-ring seal. Never install a damaged fitting!

1. Perform all solder joints on PVC transition fittings at a minimum distance along the copper tube of: 11” from a 1/2” and 3/4” PVC socket; 18” from a 1” and 1-1/4” PVC socket; 20” from a 1-1/2” PVC socket; 22” from a 2” PVC socket.

2. A plug must be in PVC socket when soldering to prevent heated air from rising through the fitting which can damage PVC socket and O-ring.

3. Use a soaked cloth or commercial heat blocking agent between solder joint and PVC joint.

4. Whenever possible, solder with PVC socket facing downward.

5. Always apply torch to female fitting, not to the adapter.

6. Always quench or otherwise cool PVC insert portion of fitting immediately after soldering is complete.

ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES

Assemble PVC solvent weld end of transition fitting according to ASTMD2466. Use primer and solvent cement conforming to ASTM D2564.

Apply water-soaked cloth or commercial heat absorbing compound between the joint to be soldered and the PVC transition

Distance between transition area and solder joint:

11” for 1/2” and 3/4” PVC socket

18” for 1” and 1-1/4” PVC socket

20” for 1-1/2” PVC socket

22” for 2” PVC socket

WARNING

Do not cut, alter or modify any Copperfit PVC transition fitting. Doing so will void manufacturer’s warranty.

*Use caution and follow manufacturer’s instructions when soldering the 288 series and other PVC transition fittings.

*Refer to current Copperfit catalog for complete warranty on these manufactured parts.
