Brass compression fitting Comap TurboSKIN GZ 14 x 1/2" (screw) model 9460164-02

Brass compression fitting Comap TurboSKIN GZ 14 x 1/2" (screw) model 9460164-02 is a mechanical screw-type connector designed to join 14 mm plastic or metal tubing to 1/2" threaded fittings. Manufactured in brass, the coupling provides a compact, screw-secured seal suitable for plumbing and heating installations. It is intended for use on potable water lines and central heating systems where a reliable, leak-resistant connection is required without soldering or special tools.

Advantages

The brass construction ensures corrosion resistance and mechanical strength for long-term use. The compression screw design allows quick and secure installation with standard hand tools and eliminates the need for adhesives or torching. The compact form factor is suitable for installations in tight spaces and provides a stable mechanical joint that accommodates slight misalignment between pipe and fitting. The fitting is compatible with typical potable water and central heating materials when installed according to instructions.

Suitable for

• Connecting 14 mm tubing to 1/2" threaded valves and fittings
• Domestic potable water supply lines
• Central heating circuits and radiators
• Repairing or modifying existing plumbing without soldering
• Installations in confined or hard-to-reach spaces

Key specifications

• Material: brass body with compression/screw connection
• Tube size compatibility: 14 mm
• Threaded connection: 1/2" male/female threaded interface
• Connection type: mechanical compression (screw-secured)
• Application: potable water and central heating systems
• Installation: requires standard spanner or wrench for tightening

How to use

Ensure pipe ends are clean, deburred and cut square. Slide the compression nut and ferrule (if supplied) onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the fitting until it seats against the stop, then hand-tighten the nut. Use an appropriate spanner to tighten the nut to the recommended torque or until the connection is sealed; avoid over-tightening to prevent deformation of the tube or ferrule. After assembly, check the joint under normal system pressure for leaks and make a final adjustment if necessary. Follow the system manufacturer's guidelines for pipe material compatibility and allowable operating pressure and temperature.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use with compatible 14 mm tubing materials and ensure the pipe is fully inserted before tightening. When installing on potable water systems, follow local plumbing codes and flush the system as required. Periodically inspect compression joints in heating systems for signs of loosening or corrosion and retighten or replace components as needed.

Brass compression fitting Comap TurboSKIN GZ 14 x 1/2" (screw) model 9460164-02 provides a practical, solder-free solution for making secure joints between 14 mm tubing and 1/2" threaded fittings in water and heating applications.
