PUSH grommet - female thread- 20x1/2 "F IVAR.PUSH-PF

Product detailed description

Push grommets are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings for connecting flexible piping systems to threaded components. In heating and plumbing installations, these fittings allow for quick and secure connections without the need for additional tools. They are particularly useful in tight spaces or where frequent disassembly is required for maintenance or system adjustments. Installers working with ALPEX piping systems benefit from the ease of installation and reliable sealing provided by these fittings.

These fittings are suitable for applications where a simple and efficient connection between flexible pipe and a threaded component is required. The push connection ensures a watertight seal and is compatible with standard internal thread sizes. The brass construction provides durability, while the EPDM sealing ensures resistance to common fluids used in heating and plumbing systems.

Technical parameters

The operating temperature of up to +120°C makes this fitting suitable for hot water and heating systems. The nominal pressure rating of PN 10 indicates the maximum pressure the fitting can handle under normal operating conditions. These parameters are essential for ensuring correct sizing and compatibility with the system’s design specifications.

Installation and connection

To install the push grommet, the ALPEX pipe is inserted into the fitting until it reaches the stop. The internal thread of the component is then engaged with the fitting. It is important to ensure that the pipe is fully inserted and that the sealing is intact. Common installation mistakes include insufficient insertion depth or damage to the sealing ring during installation. The fitting is designed for a 20 mm outer diameter pipe and connects to a 1/2 inch internal thread. Always verify the pipe diameter and thread compatibility before installation.

Compatibility and accessories

This push grommet is specifically designed for use with ALPEX piping systems. It is compatible with standard internal thread components and requires no additional tools for installation. No special accessories are required for the fitting to function correctly. Ensure that the pipe and thread components are of the correct size and type to avoid leaks or improper connections.

Technical background for designers

The push grommet operates by compressing the EPDM sealing ring against the pipe and the internal thread. The brass body provides structural integrity and resistance to corrosion, while the stainless steel sleeve reinforces the connection. The fitting is integrated into the system by connecting the flexible pipe to a threaded component, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection. The service life and efficiency of the fitting depend on correct installation, proper sealing, and the quality of the connected components.

Service and operation

No regular maintenance is required for this fitting under normal operating conditions. However, it is advisable to periodically inspect the connection for signs of wear or leakage. If a leak is detected, the fitting should be replaced immediately. There are no specified service intervals for this product, as it is designed for long-term use without maintenance.
