Regulating fittings, EC

Regulating fittings in the EC category are designed for integration into heating and plumbing systems where controlled flow regulation is required. These fittings are available in straight and corner configurations and are compatible with copper and plastic piping systems. They operate at a maximum temperature of +120 °C and are rated for PN 10 pressure levels. Constructed from nickel-plated brass CW617N, they offer corrosion resistance and durability in wet and humid environments. These fittings are commonly used in hydronic heating systems, underfloor heating, and other applications requiring precise flow management.

They connect to copper or plastic pipes via compression fittings such as IVAR.TR for copper, TA for ALPEX, and TP for plastic. This ensures a secure and leak-free connection without the need for soldering or additional tools. The fittings are suitable for use with electrically controlled systems and are sized to match standard pipe dimensions.

How to choose

• Confirm the pipe material (copper or plastic) to select the correct compression fitting type (TR, TA, or TP).
• Match the nominal diameter of the fitting to the pipe size, such as 1/2" for standard applications.
• Verify the operating temperature and pressure requirements to ensure compatibility with PN 10 and +120 °C limits.
• Choose between straight or corner configurations based on the layout of the piping system.
• Ensure the material (nickel-plated brass CW617N) is suitable for the system environment and chemical exposure.
