Coupling AGAflex 3/8" DN-10 type IK (model 10020038) for plumbing connections

AGAflex coupling 3/8" DN-10 type IK (model 10020038) is a compact mechanical fitting intended for connecting, extending or repairing 3/8" (DN-10) plumbing lines. The coupling is designed for use in water and heating systems and compatible fluid installations where a standardized DN-10 connection is required. Its form factor provides a reliable junction point for short runs and tie-ins in residential or light commercial piping.

Advantages

The AGAflex 3/8" DN-10 type IK coupling offers a compact profile that minimizes space requirements in confined installations. It provides a standardized mechanical interface for quick integration with existing 3/8" (DN-10) lines, enabling straightforward joining and repair without the need for extensive modification. The design supports routine plumbing tasks and helps maintain flow integrity at the connection point.

Suitable for

• Connecting 3/8" (DN-10) water supply lines
• Joining or extending heating system pipes with DN-10 diameter
• Repairing short sections of compatible fluid lines
• Compact installations in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 3/8" (DN-10)
• Type: IK coupling
• Function: mechanical coupling for joining, extending or repairing pipes
• Application fluids: potable water and heating fluids where material compatibility is met
• Form factor: compact inline coupling suitable for confined spaces

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by ensuring they are clean, cut squarely and free of burrs or debris. Position the coupling over the prepared 3/8" (DN-10) pipe ends according to the manufacturer's assembly orientation and engage the connection using the specified mechanical method for the type IK coupling. After assembly, verify that the joint is seated correctly and perform a pressure test or leak check before placing the system back into service.

Usage recommendations

Verify material compatibility with the conveyed fluid and operating temperatures prior to installation. Follow local plumbing codes and the manufacturer's installation instructions for torque, sealing methods and testing. For permanent installations in heating systems, ensure thermal expansion and support are accommodated to avoid stress at the coupling.
