PUSH grommet - female thread- 16x1/2 "F IVAR.PUSH-PF

Product detailed description

This push grommet is used in professional plumbing and heating systems to connect ALPEX pipes to internal-threaded fittings. It is commonly used in residential and commercial buildings for water supply, heating circuits, and sanitation systems. The fitting eliminates the need for crimping tools, allowing for quick and secure installation. It is ideal for applications where a reliable, leak-free connection is required without the use of additional tools or complex procedures.

The fitting is particularly suited for systems operating at moderate temperatures and pressures, such as domestic hot water supply or underfloor heating. It ensures compatibility with standard pipe dimensions and thread types, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of installations.

The operating temperature of +120°C allows use in hot water systems, while the nominal pressure rating of PN 10 ensures suitability for standard pressure conditions. The material selection, including brass CW617N and EPDM sealing, ensures compatibility with water and common heating media. These parameters are essential for correct sizing and system integration.Installation and connection To install, insert the ALPEX pipe into the grommet until it reaches the stop. The internal mechanism secures the pipe without the need for additional tools. The fitting connects to a 1/2 inch internal thread. Ensure the pipe is clean and free of debris before installation. Common mistakes include insufficient insertion depth or using damaged or bent pipes, which can compromise the seal and connection strength.Compatibility and accessories This grommet is specifically designed for ALPEX pipes with a 16 mm outer diameter. It is compatible with standard internal-threaded fittings of 1/2 inch. No additional tools are required for installation. For a complete system, ensure that all other fittings and components are also compatible with ALPEX piping and the same pressure and temperature ratings.Technical background for designers This push grommet operates by compressing the EPDM sealing ring around the ALPEX pipe when the pipe is inserted. The brass body provides structural strength and resistance to corrosion. The EPDM seal ensures a watertight connection and is resistant to common heating media. The design allows for easy integration into systems with internal-threaded components, reducing installation time and complexity. The service life is influenced by the quality of the pipe material, correct installation, and operating conditions.Service and operation Routine inspection is recommended to ensure the connection remains secure and leak-free. Check for signs of wear on the EPDM seal and brass body. No scheduled maintenance is required beyond visual inspection. If a leak is detected, the fitting should be replaced immediately to prevent system damage.Frequently asked questions

Can this grommet be used with other types of pipes besides ALPEX?
No, it is specifically designed for ALPEX pipes with a 16 mm outer diameter. Using it with other pipe types may result in a poor seal or failure.

Is it suitable for high-pressure systems?
It is rated for nominal pressure PN 10, which is suitable for standard pressure conditions. It is not intended for high-pressure applications beyond this rating.

Can the grommet be reused after removal?
No, the EPDM sealing ring may be damaged during removal. It is recommended to replace the fitting with a new one to ensure a reliable connection.

Is a crimping tool required for installation?
No, the push grommet is designed for tool-free installation. Simply insert the pipe until it reaches the stop and the connection is secured.
