Brass compression coupling KAN-therm GZ UltraLine 16 G1/2 - plumbing connector

KAN-therm GZ UltraLine 16 G1/2 brass compression coupling is a plumbing connector engineered to join 16 mm outer diameter pipes to a G1/2 threaded fitting. Constructed from brass, the coupling creates a mechanical compression seal that eliminates the need for soldering, providing a practical solution for installation and maintenance of water supply and heating systems where a G1/2 threaded interface is required.

Advantages

The brass construction offers corrosion resistance and long-term dimensional stability in typical potable water and heating environments. The compression design enables a secure, leak-resistant joint without flame or soldering equipment, reducing installation time and risk. The coupling is compatible with standard 16 mm pipes and a G1/2 threaded connection, ensuring straightforward integration with common plumbing components.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16 mm outer diameter plastic or metal pipes to a G1/2 threaded fitting
• Domestic water supply installations
• Central heating system connections that require a G1/2 thread
• Repair and retrofit jobs where a mechanical seal is preferred over soldering

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Pipe outer diameter compatibility: 16 mm
• Thread type: G1/2 (female/male interface as required by application)
• Connection type: compression coupling (mechanical seal)
• Typical applications: potable water and heating systems

How to use

Prepare the pipe end by cutting square and deburring to ensure a smooth seating surface. Slide the compression nut and olive (ferrule) onto the pipe, insert the pipe into the coupling body until it seats, and then hand-tighten the compression nut. Use an appropriate wrench to tighten the nut to the manufacturer’s recommended torque or until a secure mechanical seal is achieved, taking care not to overtighten. When joining to a G1/2 threaded fitting, ensure thread sealing tape or appropriate thread sealant is applied to the threads if required by the system standard.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility of the pipe material with a compression joint and confirm the operating pressure and temperature limits of the system before installation. Perform a pressure test after installation to check for leaks. For repeated disassembly and reassembly, inspect the olive and nut for wear and replace components as needed to maintain a reliable seal.
