Compression fitting KAN-therm Ultraline 16 GZ R1/2" – plumbing connector, model 2509045001

KAN-therm Ultraline 16 GZ R1/2" is a compression plumbing fitting designed to connect 16 mm plastic or multilayer pipes to a male R1/2" threaded outlet. The fitting provides a compact mechanical joint suitable for potable water and heating systems where a threaded connection is required, allowing secure transitions between 16 mm tubing and radiator valves, manifold ports or other R1/2" male threads.

Advantages

The compression design delivers a reliable, leak-resistant connection without the need for soldering or specialized tools beyond standard hand or wrench tightening. Its compact form factor minimizes space requirements at installation points and simplifies integration into tight manifolds or radiator fittings. The fitting is manufactured to meet industry standards for domestic water and heating use and is compatible with common 16 mm pipe materials used in modern installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16 mm pipework to radiator valves with R1/2" male threads
• Branching from manifolds to 16 mm tubing
• Potable water distribution with a threaded outlet
• Heating system connections where a compact threaded transition is needed

Key specifications

• Connection to pipe: compression for 16 mm tubing
• Thread connection: male R1/2"
• Application: potable water and heating systems
• Form factor: compact mechanical fitting for space-limited installations

How to use

Ensure the pipe end is cut square and free of burrs, then insert the pipe fully into the compression sleeve until it seats against the fitting shoulder. Hand-tighten the compression nut and then secure with a wrench to the torque recommended by the pipe manufacturer or until a stable, leak-free joint is achieved; avoid over-tightening. Thread the male R1/2" outlet into the mating component using appropriate thread sealant or tape if required by the installation practice, and check the assembly under system pressure for leaks before final insulation or concealment.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible 16 mm pipe materials and follow the pipe manufacturer's guidelines for tightening torque. Inspect joints after initial pressurization and periodically during system commissioning. Do not use damaged fittings and replace any component that shows deformation or corrosion before installation.
