ARCO Female Coupling Swivel Nut 20x2.00 - 1/2 inch

The ARCO female coupling with swivel nut (20x2.00 - 1/2 inch) is a professional-grade plumbing component engineered for secure and efficient pipe connections in water supply and heating systems. This fitting features a robust construction that ensures long-term durability and resistance to the stresses of daily operation. The swivel nut design facilitates easier alignment and installation, reducing the time and effort required for assembly in tight or complex piping configurations.

Advantages

This coupling provides a reliable, leak-proof connection that maintains integrity under varying pressure and temperature conditions. Its high-quality material composition prevents premature wear and corrosion, making it a dependable choice for both residential and commercial infrastructure. The swivel mechanism allows for flexible positioning during installation, which significantly simplifies the connection process to valves or other system components without the need for rotating the entire pipe length.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Heating and radiator installations
• Commercial plumbing networks
• Connecting multilayer pipes to threaded system components

This product may not be suitable for high-pressure industrial steam lines or applications involving highly corrosive chemical substances that are incompatible with the fitting's material specifications. It is also not intended for use in gas distribution systems unless explicitly certified for such purposes.

Key specifications

• Connection type: Female coupling with swivel nut
• Pipe diameter compatibility: 20 mm
• Pipe wall thickness compatibility: 2.00 mm
• Thread size: 1/2 inch
• Application: Water supply and heating systems

To install the ARCO female coupling, ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and deburred to prevent damage to the internal seals. Slide the nut and any necessary compression components onto the pipe, then insert the pipe into the fitting body. Tighten the swivel nut by hand until firm, followed by a final adjustment with a suitable wrench to ensure a secure, leak-tight seal. Avoid overtightening, as this may damage the threads or the internal gasket.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter and wall thickness of your existing piping
• Ensure the 1/2 inch thread matches your target valve or manifold connection
• Confirm compatibility with the fluid type and operating temperature of your system

Usage recommendations: Always inspect the internal O-rings or gaskets for debris before installation. It is recommended to use a compatible thread sealant or tape if required by local plumbing standards to ensure maximum joint security.
