End piece, 3/8" F; 10

Product detailed description

End pieces are essential components in plumbing and heating systems, used to terminate pipe connections and attach flexible hoses. They are commonly installed in residential and commercial buildings, particularly in systems where water supply lines need to connect to fixtures such as taps, valves or appliances. These fittings are used in both new installations and maintenance work, ensuring secure and leak-free connections in environments where water quality and system integrity are critical.

When working with such components, installers must ensure compatibility with the system’s pressure and temperature requirements. The fitting must be correctly sized and threaded to match the existing pipe work, and the material must be suitable for the intended application. In systems where drinking water is involved, the material must also be certified for potable use to meet regulatory standards.

Technical parameters

Material	Brass CW617N, certified for potable water use
Operating temperature	+120 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
Weight	0.018 kg
Code	854010010
Brand	IVAR

The operating temperature of +120°C allows this end piece to be used in hot water systems and heating applications. The nominal pressure rating of PN 10 indicates that it is suitable for low to medium-pressure systems. These parameters are essential for determining the fitting’s suitability for a specific installation, ensuring it can withstand the expected operating conditions without failure.

Installation and connection

The end piece is designed for connection to an external thread of 3/8 inch. Installers should ensure that the thread is clean and free from damage before tightening the fitting. A sealing compound or thread tape may be applied to the male thread to prevent leaks. It is important to avoid over-tightening, which can damage the brass and lead to leaks or failure. Common installation mistakes include using the wrong thread type or failing to clean the connection surfaces properly.

Compatibility and accessories

This end piece is compatible with standard hose connections and can be used with a variety of fittings and valves that accept 3/8 inch external threads. For complete system integration, additional components such as hoses, valves or pressure regulators may be required, depending on the application. No specific related products are listed for this model.
