ARCO Male Elbow 16 x 2.00 - 1/2" M for Multilayer Pipes

The ARCO male elbow 16 x 2.00 - 1/2" M is a high-performance plumbing fitting engineered for seamless integration into multilayer piping systems. Designed to provide a secure 90-degree transition, this component connects 16 mm multilayer pipes to 1/2" male threaded outlets. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliability in both residential and commercial plumbing infrastructures, maintaining structural integrity under varying pressure and temperature conditions.

Advantages

This fitting stands out due to its precision engineering, which facilitates a rapid and secure installation process. The design minimizes the risk of leaks, providing peace of mind in critical water supply and heating applications. Constructed from high-quality materials, it offers excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, ensuring a durable connection that withstands the rigors of daily use in complex piping networks.

Suitable for

• Domestic water supply systems
• Radiator heating installations
• Underfloor heating manifolds
• Connection of multilayer pipes to threaded valves or equipment

This fitting is not intended for use with rigid metal pipes or non-compatible plastic piping materials. It should not be installed in systems where the operating pressure or temperature exceeds the manufacturer's specified limits for multilayer pipe fittings.

Key specifications

• Pipe diameter: 16 mm
• Wall thickness compatibility: 2.00 mm
• Thread size: 1/2" male
• Connection type: Compression fitting to male thread
• Material: Corrosion-resistant alloy

To install the fitting, first ensure the multilayer pipe is cut cleanly and square to the axis. Calibrate and deburr the pipe end to prevent damage to the internal O-rings. Slide the nut and clamping ring onto the pipe, insert the fitting body fully into the pipe, and tighten the nut securely using appropriate tools to achieve a compression seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter and wall thickness of your existing multilayer pipe
• Ensure the 1/2" male thread is compatible with your target connection point
• Check that you have the necessary pipe cutting and calibration tools
• Confirm the system pressure and temperature requirements match the fitting specifications

Usage recommendations

Always use a calibrated pipe cutter and reamer to prepare the pipe end before insertion to ensure a leak-free connection and prevent damage to the internal sealing elements.
