End piece, 1/2" M; 15

Product detailed description

End pieces are commonly used in plumbing and heating systems to connect flexible hoses to fixed piping. They are typically installed in residential and commercial buildings, including domestic hot water systems, heating circuits and irrigation systems. These fittings are often used in conjunction with valves, taps and other threaded components to ensure a secure and leak-free connection. Installers must ensure that the end piece is compatible with the system pressure and temperature requirements to maintain long-term performance.

When working with end pieces, technicians must consider the thread type, material compatibility and the system’s hydraulic conditions. The internal thread allows for direct connection to standard pipe fittings, and the material must be suitable for the intended media and operating conditions. In systems with high thermal expansion or frequent temperature changes, the use of certified materials is essential to prevent degradation and leaks.

Technical parameters

The operating temperature of +120°C means this end piece is suitable for hot water systems and heating applications. The nominal pressure rating of PN10 ensures it can handle standard hydraulic loads in typical plumbing and heating installations. The CW617N brass material is certified for potable water use, making it suitable for systems where water quality is a concern. These parameters are essential for correct sizing and selection in accordance with system design specifications.

Installation and connection

Installation involves screwing the end piece into a standard internal thread. The 1/2 inch internal thread must be clean and free from burrs to ensure a tight fit. Apply a suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape to prevent leaks. Check that the hose connection is compatible with the end piece’s outlet size. Common installation errors include cross-threading, insufficient tightening or using incompatible sealing materials. Always verify the system pressure and temperature before commissioning.

Compatibility and accessories

This end piece is compatible with standard hose fittings and valves with a 1/2 inch internal thread. It is typically used in conjunction with flexible hoses, unions and valves. When ordering, ensure that the hose and other fittings are also rated for the same pressure and temperature conditions. Accessories such as sealing tape or thread sealant may be required for a leak-free installation.

Technical background for designers

The end piece functions as a transition between rigid and flexible piping. The CW617N brass material offers good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, making it suitable for both hot and cold water systems. Its potable water certification ensures it does not leach harmful substances into the water supply. The internal thread allows for direct connection to standard pipe fittings, and the PN10 rating ensures it can handle typical hydraulic loads. The operating temperature of +120°C makes it suitable for hot water systems and heating applications. The material’s properties and connection type are key to ensuring long-term performance and system integrity.

Service and operation

During operation, the end piece requires no regular maintenance. However, it should be inspected periodically for signs of leakage, corrosion or wear. If a leak is detected, the connection should be checked for proper tightening and sealing. In high-temperature or high-pressure environments, ensure that the system remains within the specified operating conditions to prevent premature failure.
