Ashirvad Flowguard Plus Male Adapter Brass Threaded 8211 MABT

Product Highlights Quick Answer: What is Ashirvad Flowguard Plus Male Adapter Brass Threaded (MABT) used for? Ashirvad Flowguard Plus Male Adapter Brass Threaded (MABT) is a transition fitting for connecting CPVC pipes to female threaded components, designed for creating removable connections to tanks, valves, and equipment with durable brass male threads. Material: CPVC body with brass male threaded insert Function: CPVC to female thread transition Temperature Rating: Up to 93C (200F) Pressure Rating: PN 15 (15 kg/cm) Connection: Socket (solvent weld) + Male brass thread (MPT) Product Description Ashirvad Flowguard Plus Male Adapter Brass Threaded (MABT) provides the essential link between CPVC piping systems and female threaded plumbing components. This hybrid fitting features a CPVC socket connection on one end for permanent solvent welding to pipes, and a brass male threaded connection on the other end for screwing into female threaded tanks, valves, or equipment. The brass threading ensures long-term reliability and allows for easy disassembly when needed. The corrosion-resistant brass male threads maintain integrity in both hot and cold water applications, while the CPVC body ensures full compatibility with Flowguard Plus systems. Essential for overhead tank connections, equipment installations, and any application requiring connection to female threaded components. The removable threaded connection provides maintenance access without cutting pipes, making it ideal for equipment that may require future replacement. Technical Specifications (Quick Reference) Specification Details Fitting Type Male Adapter Brass Threaded (MABT) Body Material CPVC with brass male threaded insert Maximum Temperature 93C (200F) continuous service Pressure Rating PN 15 (15 kg/cm at 25C) Connections Socket (solvent weld) + Male brass thread (MPT) Standards ASTM D2846, NSF certified Recommended Applications Overhead Tank Connections: Connecting CPVC pipes to female threaded tank outlets and inlets Equipment Installations: Connecting to pumps, filters, and water treatment equipment with female threads Valve Connections: Installing into female threaded ball valves and gate valves Geyser Hookups: Connecting to water heater female threaded inlets/outlets Manifold Systems: Creating male threaded connections for distribution manifolds Appliance Connections: Any equipment requiring male threaded pipe connections Installation Guidelines Pipe Preparation: Cut CPVC pipe squarely; deburr and chamfer pipe end at 10-15 angle Socket Connection: Clean pipe end and adapter socket; apply CPVC solvent cement; insert pipe with quarter turn and hold 30 seconds Curing Time: Allow 24 hours for solvent cement to cure before connecting threaded components Thread Preparation: Wrap male brass threads with 3-4 layers of PTFE tape in clockwise direction Threaded Connection: Hand-tighten into female threaded component; use wrench for final 1-2 turns; avoid over-tightening FAQs 1) What\’s the difference between MABT and FABT fittings? MABT (Male Adapter Brass Threaded) has male brass threads that screw into female threaded components like tanks and equipment. FABT (Female Adapter Brass Threaded) has female brass threads that accept male threaded components like taps and valves. Use MABT for tank connections and equipment with female threads, and FABT for fixtures and valves with male threads. 2) Do I need PTFE tape when using MABT fittings? Yes, always apply PTFE thread seal tape to the male brass threads before screwing into female threaded components. Use 3-4 wraps of white PTFE tape wound in the clockwise direction. This ensures a leak-free seal and allows for easier disassembly in the future. 3) Can MABT fittings be used for hot water applications? Yes, Ashirvad MABT fittings are rated for hot water service up to 93C (200F). They\’re ideal for geyser connections, solar water heater installations, and hot water distribution. The brass threads maintain their integrity at high temperatures without degradation. 4) Can I remove and reconnect equipment installed with MABT fittings? Yes, the brass threaded connection can be unscrewed and reassembled as needed for maintenance or equipment replacement. However, the CPVC socket connection is permanent and cannot be disassembled. This makes MABT fittings ideal for equipment connections that may need future access. 5) How tight should I make the threaded connection on a MABT? Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for 1-2 additional turns. Over-tightening can crack the CPVC body or damage the brass threads. The connection should be snug and leak-free without excessive force. If leaks occur, check PTFE tape application rather than over-tightening. Why Buy from HomeRun?
