End piece, 3/8" M; 15

Product detailed description

End pieces are essential components in plumbing and heating systems where a hose connection is required. They are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings for connecting flexible hoses to fixed piping systems. Installers and service technicians often encounter these fittings in applications such as water supply lines, irrigation systems, and heating circuits. The fitting is designed for internal thread connections, ensuring secure and leak-free operation in systems with nominal pressure up to PN 10 and operating temperatures up to +120 °C.

Proper selection and installation of end pieces are crucial for maintaining system integrity. The material, thread type, and pressure rating must align with the system requirements to prevent failures and ensure long-term performance. This end piece is particularly suited for use in potable water systems, where compliance with material standards is essential.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation involves connecting the end piece to an internal thread. The fitting is designed for 3/8 inch internal thread connections. Before installation, ensure that the thread is clean and free from debris. Apply a suitable thread sealant if required by the system specifications. A common mistake is over-tightening, which can damage the threads or cause leaks. Always follow the manufacturer’s torque recommendations to avoid this issue.

Compatibility and accessories

This end piece is compatible with standard hose connections and internal thread fittings. When installing, ensure that the hose and other fittings are also rated for the same operating conditions. Additional components such as hoses, unions, and sealing compounds may be required depending on the system design. No specific related products are listed for this model.

Technical background for designers

The end piece functions as a transition point between rigid piping and flexible hose connections. The brass CW617N material offers good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The internal thread allows for secure and reliable connections. The performance of the fitting is influenced by the quality of the thread engagement and the sealing method used. Long-term efficiency depends on the system’s operating conditions and the quality of the installation.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the connection for leaks and signs of wear is recommended. If any issues are detected, the fitting should be replaced immediately. No specific service intervals are provided in the brief. During operation, ensure that the system pressure and temperature remain within the specified limits to avoid premature failure.
