End piece, 3/8" F; 15

Product detailed description

End pieces are commonly used in plumbing and heating systems to connect flexible hoses to fixed pipe systems. These fittings are essential in installations such as water supply lines, heating circuits, and irrigation systems. They ensure a secure and leak-free connection between the hose and the threaded pipe. Installers must ensure that the end piece is compatible with the hose and pipe dimensions to maintain system integrity and prevent failures. The operating conditions, including temperature and pressure, must also be considered to ensure long-term performance.

In residential and commercial buildings, these fittings are often used in kitchens, bathrooms, and underfloor heating systems. The end piece must be installed correctly to avoid leaks and ensure the system operates efficiently. The materials and design of the fitting are selected to withstand the typical conditions encountered in such environments.

Technical parameters

Material	Brass CW617N approved for potable water
Operating temperature	+120 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
Weight	0.022 kg
Code	854010015
Brand	IVAR

The operating temperature of +120 °C allows the fitting to be used in hot water systems and heating applications. The nominal pressure of PN 10 indicates that the fitting is suitable for low to medium-pressure systems. The material, brass CW617N, is approved for potable water, ensuring that the fitting is safe for use in drinking water systems. These parameters are essential for selecting the correct fitting for the intended application and ensuring compliance with relevant standards.

Installation and connection

The end piece is designed for connection to an external thread of 3/8 inch F. Installers should ensure that the thread is clean and free from debris before tightening the fitting. A sealing compound or thread tape may be applied to the male thread to ensure a watertight seal. The fitting should be tightened by hand initially and then with a wrench to the manufacturer's recommended torque. Over-tightening can damage the threads or the fitting itself. Common installation mistakes include using the wrong thread type or failing to clean the threads before installation, both of which can lead to leaks or premature failure.

Compatibility and accessories

This end piece is compatible with hoses and fittings that have a 3/8 inch female thread. It is typically used in conjunction with flexible hoses, hose clamps, and other threaded fittings to complete the connection. When ordering, installers should ensure that all components are compatible in terms of thread type, size, and pressure rating. Additional components such as sealing tape or thread sealant may be required to ensure a secure and leak-free connection.

Technical background for designers

The end piece functions by providing a secure and leak-free connection between a flexible hose and a rigid pipe system. The brass CW617N material is chosen for its durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with potable water. The operating temperature and pressure ratings are determined by the material properties and the design of the fitting. The integration of the fitting into the system depends on the overall system design, including the type of media being transported and the operating conditions. The service life and efficiency of the fitting are influenced by factors such as the quality of the installation, the cleanliness of the threads, and the compatibility of the connected components.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the fitting is recommended to ensure that the connection remains secure and leak-free. Any signs of corrosion, wear, or leakage should be addressed immediately. The threads should be cleaned periodically to prevent the buildup of debris, which can affect the sealing performance. No specific service intervals are provided for this product, but maintenance should be carried out as part of routine system checks. If a leak is detected, the fitting should be disassembled, inspected, and replaced if necessary.
