End piece, 2" M; 60

Product detailed description

End pieces are commonly used in plumbing and heating systems to terminate pipe runs or connect flexible hoses. They are frequently found in domestic and commercial applications such as hot water distribution, underfloor heating, and industrial process systems. Installers and technicians working with copper or plastic piping systems often use these fittings to ensure a secure and leak-free connection. The fitting is designed for internal thread connections and is suitable for use with hose couplings or flexible hoses in systems operating at elevated temperatures.

When selecting an end piece, it is important to match the thread size, pressure rating and material compatibility with the system requirements. This model is specifically intended for use in systems with a nominal pressure of PN 10 and a maximum operating temperature of +120 °C. It is not suitable for high-pressure or high-temperature industrial applications beyond these limits.

The operating temperature limit of +120 °C and the nominal pressure rating of PN 10 are key factors in determining the suitability of this end piece for a particular application. These parameters ensure that the fitting can be used in hot water systems and heating circuits without risk of failure. The CW617N brass material provides good corrosion resistance and is approved for use with potable water, making it suitable for domestic and commercial water supply systems.

Installation and connection

The end piece is designed for internal thread connections and should be installed using standard plumbing tools. The internal thread is sized to match standard hose couplings and flexible hose fittings. Before installation, the thread should be cleaned and checked for damage. A thread sealant or PTFE tape may be applied to ensure a leak-free connection. Common installation errors include cross-threading, insufficient tightening, or using incompatible thread sizes. It is important to ensure that the hose or coupling is compatible with the internal thread and that the connection is tightened to the correct torque.

Compatibility and accessories

This end piece is compatible with standard hose couplings and flexible hoses that have an external thread matching the internal thread of the fitting. It is typically used in conjunction with hose clamps and flexible hoses for temporary or semi-permanent connections. No additional accessories are required for standard installation. It is not compatible with high-pressure systems beyond PN 10 or with non-potable water systems unless specified otherwise.

Technical background for designers

The end piece functions as a termination point for rigid piping systems or as a connection point for flexible hoses. The CW617N brass material is selected for its durability, resistance to corrosion and compatibility with potable water. The internal thread allows for a secure connection with hose fittings. The operating temperature and pressure limits are determined by the material properties and the design of the fitting. The PN 10 rating ensures that the fitting can handle the typical pressures found in domestic and commercial water and heating systems. The integration into the system must account for thermal expansion and contraction to prevent stress on the connection.

Service and operation

No regular maintenance is required for this end piece during normal operation. However, it is recommended to periodically inspect the connection for signs of leakage or corrosion. If the fitting is used in a system with high mineral content or aggressive water, it may be necessary to replace the fitting more frequently to prevent blockages or degradation. There are no specific service intervals provided for this model.
