PRESS Wall - end wall, 26 x 3/4" F

Product detailed description

End wall fittings are essential components in the installation of pipe systems where a pipe must be connected to a wall or structural surface. These fittings are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings for heating, plumbing and sanitation systems. Installers working with ALPEX pipe systems will find this press type end wall fitting suitable for applications where a secure and leak-free connection is required. The fitting is designed for use in systems operating at temperatures up to 120°C and nominal pressure PN 10, making it suitable for a range of domestic and industrial applications.

During installation, the fitting is pressed onto the end of an ALPEX pipe using compatible pressing tools. The press connection ensures a durable and reliable seal, which is essential for maintaining system integrity. The fitting must be installed in a way that allows for proper alignment and access to the pressing tool. It is important to ensure that the pipe is cut cleanly and that the end is free from burrs or deformations before pressing.

The operating temperature of +120°C and nominal pressure of PN 10 are key factors in selecting this fitting for specific applications. These parameters define the conditions under which the fitting can safely operate without degradation or failure. The material selection, including nickel-plated brass and EPDM sealing, ensures compatibility with the specified pressure and temperature limits.Installation and connection The fitting is designed for use with ALPEX pipes and requires a pressing tool compatible with the B-F-TH jaw type. The connection size is 3/4 inch female thread, and the fitting must be aligned correctly with the wall or surface before pressing. During installation, it is important to verify that the pipe is inserted fully into the fitting and that the pressing tool is applied evenly to ensure a consistent and secure connection. Common installation mistakes include misalignment of the pipe, insufficient pressing force, or using an incompatible pressing tool, which can lead to leaks or system failure.Compatibility and accessories This end wall fitting is specifically designed for use with ALPEX pipe systems. It is compatible with standard pressing tools that support the B-F-TH jaw type. When installing, ensure that the pressing tool is correctly calibrated and that the ALPEX pipe is prepared according to the manufacturer's specifications. No additional accessories are required for standard installation, but it is recommended to have a suitable pressing tool and a cutting tool for pipe preparation on site.Technical background for designers The press connection operates by compressing the sleeve around the pipe, creating a mechanical and sealing bond. The nickel-plated brass body provides corrosion resistance and durability, while the stainless steel sleeve ensures a secure grip on the pipe. The EPDM sealing material is compatible with a wide range of fluids and temperatures, making it suitable for use in heating and plumbing systems. The design of the fitting allows for integration into systems with minimal space requirements, and the material properties ensure long-term performance under the specified operating conditions.Service and operation Once installed, the fitting requires no regular maintenance. However, it is important to periodically inspect the connection for signs of wear, corrosion or leakage. If any issues are detected, the fitting should be replaced immediately. No specific service intervals are provided for this model, but it is recommended to follow standard maintenance procedures for the overall system.Frequently asked questions
