CPVC Fittings

What are CPVC Fittings?

CPVC fittings are pipe fittings made of Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride, which is a plastic material that is created by modifying (chlorinating) PVC (polyvinyl chloride) materials. This plastic is more durable and flexible, making it a top choice for those working in the plumbing industry. CPVC fittings are designed to withstand high temperatures, making them an easy choice for plumbing - especially for mobile homes.

What are the Different Types of CPVC Fittings?

At American Mobile Home Supplies, we carry many types of CPVC fittings for mobile home plumbing repairs, including:

• Tee Slip- Used to connect three pipes together. 
• 45° & 90° Elbow- Both are used to change the direction of the pipes, either 45° or 90° respectively.
• Union- Connects two pipes together with a screw apparatus that can easily be opened for maintenance and cleaning.
• Coupler (coupling slip)- A slip that goes over the joint of two pipes to form a permanent connection.
• CPVC Female and Male Adapters- Connects CPVC pipes to other pipes while providing a leak-free seal. Male adapters have a threaded outside, while female adapters have a threaded inside, which ultimately connect together. 
• Wing Elbow- Changes the direction of the pipes and water flow. One side of the fitting is threaded, while the other side has a slip joint. This is usually used to connect shower and bathtub fixtures. 
• Reducing Bush- A transition piece that lets you go from a larger pipe diameter to a smaller one.
• CPVC Cap- Found at the end of the pipe to close it off or seal it.

It is a popular choice to use CPVC fittings for mobile homes as they are easy to install, especially in small or tight spaces. They are known to withstand high temperatures without damaging or corroding. This makes them a top choice for plumbers and homeowners alike. 

What do I Need when Installing CPVC Fittings?

We carry a variety of other products to ensure a reliable, leak-free CPVC installation. You will also need:

• pipe cutters to ensure the correct length and fit.
• CPVC cement is a must-have product for anyone working in plumbing. The glue chemically binds the pipes to the fittings to ensure there won’t be any leaks.
