MILWAUKEE – (Feb. 5, 2018) – Johnson Controls announces the new Tyco® Rapid Seal CPVC Sprinkler Head Adapter. Made with BlazeMaster® CPVC compound for use in fire sprinkler systems to connect sprinkler heads to piping systems, Rapid Seal is easy to install and available in multiple sizes and styles.

With its all-CPVC design, Rapid Seal is less susceptible to dezincification in hard water environments, while also complying with growing state and federal low-lead requirements for sprinkler and plumbing systems. Further, its straight-thread adapter provides a more seamless, leak-free installation.

Additional benefits include its time-saving installation for contractors, as Rapid Seal has no thread tape or sealant, and its straight-thread design allows for flexible installation. This method provides a more precise positioning of the deflector, which is also ideal for the installation of horizontal sidewall sprinkler heads. Lastly, installation can be done by simply hand-tightening the sprinkler into place and finishing with a minor adjustment.
