Compact set OPTIMA - corner, AL 16 x 2 mm - chrome

Product detailed description

This compact corner set is designed for integration into bathroom heating systems, particularly in residential and commercial buildings where space efficiency and system performance are essential. The set is commonly used in wet areas such as bathrooms and utility rooms, where precise temperature control and reliable operation are required. The system is suitable for low-pressure hydronic heating applications and is often installed in conjunction with ALPEX multilayer piping systems. The compact design allows for flexible installation in tight spaces, while the thermostatic control ensures user comfort and energy efficiency.

Installers working with this system typically deal with the integration of radiators or underfloor heating into the building's plumbing network. The set is designed for use with copper or ALPEX piping and requires careful attention to connection torque and alignment to ensure leak-free operation. The set is particularly suitable for systems where a corner configuration is needed to accommodate layout constraints or to connect to fixtures at an angle.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

The set is connected using a 1/2 inch thread and an ALPEX 16 x 2 mm connection. The tightening torque for the DF 03 fitting is 25–35 Nm, and for the DF 01 fitting, it is 30–40 Nm. Installers should ensure that the ALPEX connection is properly seated and that the thread is clean and undamaged before tightening. Common installation mistakes include over-tightening, which can damage the sealing surfaces, and incorrect alignment, which can lead to uneven stress on the components. It is also important to verify that the system is compatible with the existing piping material and that all connections are made according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Compatibility and accessories

This set is compatible with copper and ALPEX multilayer piping systems. It includes a thermostatic valve, a mixing body and a dual cover, but no additional fittings or tools are included. For installation, it is recommended to have the appropriate wrenches and torque tools on hand to ensure accurate tightening. No alternative products are listed for this model.

Technical background for designers

The set operates using a thermostatic valve that regulates the flow of heated water based on the temperature of the surrounding environment. The brass CW617N material provides good thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, while the surface treatment enhances resistance to oxidation and wear. The system is designed to integrate into low-pressure heating systems and is suitable for use with radiators or underfloor heating. The service life and efficiency of the system are influenced by the quality of the installation, the condition of the connected piping and the regularity of maintenance checks.

Service and operation

During operation, the system requires no regular maintenance beyond routine visual inspections for leaks or signs of wear. The thermostatic valve should be checked for proper function and responsiveness to temperature changes. If the system is to be serviced, it is important to isolate it from the main heating circuit and to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for disassembly and reassembly. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data.
