Description

Thread and pipe connection

The 1/2-inch male thread is the connection side for the fitting. The socket on the opposite side accepts 16 mm irrigation pipe; both connection types are functionally separate and must match their respective counterparts.

Installation and sealing

Install the plastic thread hand-tight and do not overload it with pliers. Use suitable PTFE tape where the threaded connection is sealed through the thread; observe any existing flat seals and the connection instructions. The corrosion-resistant plastic is intended for frost-free use up to +60 °C.

Frequently asked questions

What counterpart is the connector intended for?

The threaded side is designed for fittings or valves with a 1/2-inch female thread.

Which pipe is connected on the other side?

The push-fit socket accepts 16 mm irrigation pipe.

Do I need PTFE tape?

For a thread-sealed connection, use suitable PTFE tape according to its instructions. If the counterpart seals via a separate sealing surface or flat seal, use the specified sealing method. Do not spread the plastic thread by applying too much sealing material.

How do I distinguish 1/2 inch from 3/4 inch?

As a guide, male threads are approximately 21 mm for 1/2 inch and approximately 26.5 mm for 3/4 inch. Check the existing thread before installation.

What should I consider before winter?

Drain the irrigation system completely before frost. Water trapped in connections can expand when it freezes and damage components.
