Brass threaded fitting KAN-therm Złączka GW Copper 18 Rp1/2 (female)

KAN-therm Złączka GW Copper 18 Rp1/2 is a brass threaded female fitting engineered for plumbing and heating installations that require a reliable Rp1/2 internal BSPP (cylindrical) connection. The fitting accepts copper or compatible pipes and creates a secure mechanical joint suitable for domestic and light commercial use, repair jobs and retrofit connections where a copper-compatible female threaded coupling is needed.

Advantages

The fitting is made of brass to provide corrosion resistance and mechanical strength under typical operating conditions. Its Rp1/2 internal thread follows BSPP standards, ensuring compatibility with standard male threaded components. The compact design allows installation in confined spaces and supports straightforward mechanical assembly without specialized tools when used with appropriate sealing methods. The product is suitable for potable water and heating circuits when installed according to local codes.

Suitable for

• Plumbing repairs and replacements in domestic properties
• Heating system connections and radiator installations
• Retrofit joins where a female threaded copper coupling is required
• Light commercial plumbing and service lines

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Connection type: internal cylindrical thread (BSPP) Rp1/2
• Pipe compatibility: copper and compatible pipe materials
• Use: mechanical threaded female fitting for plumbing and heating
• Design: compact female coupling for confined installations

How to use

Prepare mating male threads and the end of the copper or compatible pipe according to accepted plumbing practices, ensuring surfaces are clean and free of debris. Apply an appropriate thread sealant (such as PTFE tape or liquid thread sealant) to the male thread if required by the application and local regulations. Hand-start the brass fitting onto the male thread, then tighten with suitable wrenches to the recommended torque for Rp1/2 fittings, taking care not to deform the fitting or the mating component. Follow system pressure testing and flushing procedures after installation to verify leak-free performance.

Usage recommendations

Use this brass threaded fitting in systems that match the specified Rp1/2 BSPP connection and pipe material compatibility. Confirm material suitability for potable water or heating fluids per local codes, and replace damaged or corroded fittings. When joining dissimilar metals, use appropriate isolation or anti-corrosion measures to prevent galvanic corrosion.
