End piece, 6/4" M; 50

Product detailed description

End pieces are essential components in the installation of heating and plumbing systems, particularly in applications where flexible hose connections are required. This type of fitting is commonly used in residential and commercial buildings for connecting hoses to internal threaded systems. Installers working on central heating, hot water supply, or irrigation systems often use such fittings to ensure secure and leak-free connections. The design of the end piece allows for reliable integration into systems operating at elevated temperatures and moderate pressures, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

When installing these components, it is important to ensure that the internal thread is compatible with the hose or pipe being connected. The fitting must be tightened to the correct torque to prevent leaks without damaging the threads. Care should also be taken to avoid cross-threading during installation, which can compromise the integrity of the connection. The CW617N brass material provides good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, ensuring long-term performance in typical operating conditions.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation involves connecting the end piece to an internal thread, typically found on the end of a hose or pipe. The fitting is available in a 6/4 inch M size, which refers to the thread dimensions. It is important to use a suitable sealing compound or PTFE tape to ensure a watertight connection. During installation, the installer should check that the thread is clean and undamaged before tightening. Common mistakes include over-tightening, which can damage the threads, and under-tightening, which can lead to leaks. The fitting is designed for straightforward installation and does not require special tools.

Compatibility and accessories

This end piece is compatible with standard hose and pipe systems that use internal threading. It is typically used in conjunction with hoses or pipes that have a matching thread size. When ordering, it is important to ensure that the hose or pipe being connected has the correct internal thread dimensions. No additional accessories are required for standard installation, but sealing materials such as PTFE tape may be needed to ensure a secure connection.

Technical background for designers

The end piece functions as a threaded connection point for hoses or pipes. The CW617N brass material is selected for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in potable water systems. The internal thread allows for a secure and stable connection, ensuring that the system remains leak-free under normal operating conditions. The operating temperature and pressure ratings are important design considerations, as they determine the suitability of the fitting for specific applications. The material properties and thread design contribute to the overall efficiency and service life of the component.

Service and operation

During operation, the end piece requires minimal maintenance. Regular visual inspections should be carried out to check for signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks. If a leak is detected, the connection should be tightened or re-sealed as necessary. There are no specific service intervals required for this component, as it is designed for long-term use without frequent maintenance. In the event of damage or failure, the fitting should be replaced with a new unit of the same specifications.
