Compact set OPTIMA - corner, CU 15 x 1 mm - chrome

Product detailed description

This compact corner set is designed for installation in bathroom environments where space efficiency and system compatibility are essential. It is commonly used in residential and commercial buildings with central heating systems that require precise temperature control and reliable flow regulation. The set is intended for use with copper or multi-layer piping systems and is suitable for installation in both new builds and renovation projects. The modular design allows for flexible integration into various plumbing layouts, particularly in corner configurations where space is limited.

The set includes a radiator valve, a thermostat head and a fitting for copper or multi-layer piping. It is designed for use with copper tubing of 15 x 1 mm dimensions and is compatible with systems operating at up to 100°C. The installation process requires attention to torque specifications and correct alignment of components to ensure leak-free operation and long-term durability.

The operating temperature limit of +100°C and the PN 10 pressure rating are essential for selecting this set in systems with moderate thermal and hydraulic demands. These parameters ensure compatibility with standard central heating systems and help in determining the suitability for specific applications. The brass CW617N material with chrome finish provides corrosion resistance and a long service life in typical indoor environments.

Installation and connection

The installation process begins with verifying the correct dimensions of the copper tubing (15 x 1 mm) and ensuring that the fitting is compatible with the system. The set includes a radiator valve with a 1/2 inch connection and an M24 thread for the thermostat head. The tightening torque must be carefully observed: 25–35 Nm for the DF 03 component and 30–40 Nm for the DF 01 component. Failure to follow the specified torque values can lead to leaks or mechanical stress on the components. It is also important to ensure that the system pressure does not exceed the PN 10 rating during operation. Common installation errors include incorrect torque application, misalignment of the components and using incompatible tubing materials.

Compatibility and accessories

This set is specifically designed for use with copper or multi-layer piping systems. It is compatible with standard central heating systems operating at up to 100°C and with pressure ratings up to PN 10. No additional accessories are required for basic installation, as the set includes all necessary components for operation. However, installers should ensure that the system piping and other components are compatible with the specified materials and dimensions.

Technical background for designers

The set operates on a principle of flow control through a thermostatic valve, which adjusts the flow of heated water based on the ambient temperature. The brass CW617N material offers good mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion in typical indoor environments. The chrome finish provides an additional layer of protection and a clean aesthetic. The integration into the system requires careful consideration of the thermal expansion of the piping and the mechanical stress on the connections. The service life of the set is influenced by the quality of the installation, the operating conditions and the maintenance of the system.

Service and operation

Routine maintenance is not required for this set, provided that the installation is correct and the system operates within the specified parameters. Regular checks should be performed to ensure that the connections remain tight and that there are no signs of leakage or corrosion. The torque specifications should be verified during any maintenance activity to ensure that the components remain secure. No specific service intervals are required, but any signs of wear or malfunction should be addressed promptly to prevent system failure.
