Regulating fitting OPTIMA - three-axial - L, 1/2" x M 24 - inox

Product detailed description

This three-axis regulating fitting is designed for use in domestic and commercial heating and plumbing installations. It connects sanitary fixtures such as taps and mixers to supply lines, ensuring accurate flow regulation and system stability. It is commonly used in bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms where reliable water distribution is essential. The fitting operates within standard residential and light commercial building systems, including thermostatic controls and radiant heating loops.

The fitting is installed between pipe sections and sanitary devices, allowing for angular adjustment during assembly. The installation process involves aligning the three axes to ensure leak-free connections and correct orientation. This is particularly important when working with fixed-position fixtures such as wall-mounted showers or basins with rigid mounting points.

The maximum operating temperature of +100°C indicates suitability for hot water circuits and heating applications. The PN 10 nominal pressure rating ensures compatibility with standard domestic water supply systems. The material selection—CW617N brass with surface treatment—provides resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, supporting long-term performance in wet environments.

Installation and connection

To install the fitting, ensure the incoming 1/2 inch thread and the M24 metric thread are clean and undamaged. Apply sealing compound or PTFE tape to both threads before tightening. Check that the three-axis design allows for angular alignment to accommodate minor misalignments between pipe and appliance. Common errors include over-tightening, which can damage the internal components, and incorrect orientation, which may restrict flow or cause leakage. Use a wrench to secure the connections evenly and avoid cross-threading.

Compatibility and accessories

This fitting is compatible with standard sanitary fixtures featuring M24 metric threading and 1/2 inch pipe threads. When installing, ensure that all connected components—such as thermostatic valves and mixing units—are rated for the same operating conditions. Additional components such as unions or adapters may be required for non-standard configurations.

Technical background for designers

The three-axis design allows for angular movement during installation, accommodating slight misalignment without compromising the seal. The CW617N brass material provides good strength and thermal conductivity while resisting dezincification. The surface treatment enhances protection against oxidation and pitting. Integration into a system requires consideration of thermal expansion and hydraulic resistance to maintain consistent performance over time. The fitting supports direct connection to thermostatic valves via its internal cavity design.

Service and operation

During operation, inspect the connections periodically for signs of leakage or wear. If leakage occurs, disassemble the fitting and check the threads and seals for damage. Clean the internal cavity if debris accumulation is suspected. No scheduled service intervals are specified for this component under normal operating conditions. Avoid using aggressive solvents that may degrade the surface treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Can this fitting be used in hot water systems?
Yes, it is rated for operation up to 100°C, making it suitable for hot water circuits and thermostatic systems.

Is this fitting compatible with M24 sanitary fixtures?
Yes, the M24 metric thread is designed for direct connection to fixtures with matching threading.

Can the fitting be rotated after installation?
No, the three-axis adjustment is intended for initial alignment only. Rotation after installation may compromise the seal.

What sealing method is recommended for the threads?
Apply sealing tape or compound to both the 1/2 inch and M24 threads to ensure a leak-free connection.
