Compression coupling FERRO for multilayer pipes 1/2" 16x2 mm

FERRO compression coupling for multilayer pipes 1/2" 16x2 mm is a mechanical fitting engineered to connect two sections of PEX-aluminum-PEX (multilayer) plumbing pipe. The coupling provides a sealed, solder-free joint suitable for potable water and heating installations. Its compact body is designed for use in confined spaces and standard systems where 16x2 mm pipe diameter is required.

Advantages

The compression design allows a reliable, leak-resistant connection without the need for soldering, adhesives, or special tools beyond standard compression installation tools. The coupling offers consistent sealing performance for potable water and heating circuits and reduces installation time compared with permanent welded or crimped joints. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for installations with limited clearance while maintaining mechanical strength and corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor plumbing systems.

Suitable for

• Joining two sections of 16x2 mm multilayer (PEX-aluminum-PEX) pipe
• Potable water distribution systems
• Domestic and commercial heating circuits
• Repairs and retrofits in confined installation spaces

Key specifications

• Pipe compatibility: multilayer PEX-aluminum-PEX pipes with 16x2 mm dimensions
• Connection type: mechanical compression coupling (solder-free)
• Size: 1/2" nominal (fits 16x2 mm pipe)
• Suitable media: potable water and heating fluids
• Installation environment: indoor plumbing and heating systems; compact design for tight spaces

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting squarely and deburring to ensure full insertion. Slide the compression nut and sleeve (olive) onto each pipe end, insert the pipe into the coupling body until it seats fully, then tighten the compression nuts to the manufacturer's recommended torque to compress the sleeve and form a seal. Verify alignment and ensure that the connection is secure before system pressurization. Follow standard plumbing practice for testing and commissioning the installation.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible 16x2 mm multilayer pipes and appropriate compression tools; avoid over-tightening to prevent deformation of the sleeve. After installation, perform a pressure test according to local plumbing codes and inspect joints periodically for signs of leakage or mechanical stress.
