16mm – 1/2″ Male Straight Press Fitting WRAS Approved

WRAS approved 16mm – 1/2″ male straight press fitting that is suitable to use in all domestic water applications including potable water, central heating and warm water underfloor heating systems.

Press fittings are a fast and effective way to join multi-layer pipe and do not require any hot works or sealing tape like compression fittings do. This type of joint has become increasingly more popular due to its simple and quick installation, along with high working temperature and pressure capability.

To install this fitting, first cut the pipe at 90 degrees then bevel the end to remove burrs. Slide the crimping sleeve over the pipe and push the insert into the pipe. Position the sleeve against the plastic ring then using a manual pressing tool tightly close the sleeve around the pipe for a permanent and watertight seal.
