Brass press plumbing adapter with ears KAN-therm 16x2 to G1/2" model K-905022

KAN-therm brass press plumbing adapter with ears K-905022 is a coupling component that connects a 16x2 mm press polyethylene or multilayer pipe to a G1/2" female threaded fitting. Manufactured from brass, the adapter is intended for use in hot and cold potable water systems as well as heating circuits where a reliable transition from press-fit piping to standard threaded fixtures or valves is required. The integrated ears allow the adapter to be secured to nearby fixtures or mounting points to reduce mechanical stress on the joint.

Advantages

The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and dimensional stability over a wide temperature range. The press connection achieves a leak-tight joint when used with compatible press tools and rings, while the G1/2" threaded outlet enables direct attachment to standard taps, valves, and fittings. Integrated mounting ears simplify installation and help keep the connection stable during system operation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16x2 mm press pipes to G1/2" threaded valves and fittings
• Residential and commercial potable water supply installations
• Heating systems requiring a transition between press-fit piping and threaded components
• Plumbing repairs where a stable, compact adapter with mounting ears is needed

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Press pipe size: 16 x 2 mm
• Thread size: G1/2" (female)
• Connection types: Press-fit on pipe side, threaded on fitting side
• Integrated mounting ears for mechanical support
• Suitable media: Hot and cold potable water, heating medium

How to use

Prepare the 16x2 mm pipe end by cutting square and deburring the inner and outer edges. Slide the appropriate press sleeve or ring over the pipe, insert the adapter until it reaches the pipe shoulder, and perform the press operation with a compatible press tool and jaw sized for 16 mm pipe. Thread the G1/2" connection onto the mating fitting or valve using appropriate sealing method for the thread (such as PTFE tape or approved sealant) and tighten to the torque recommended by the fitting manufacturer. Use the integrated ears to fasten the adapter to a nearby support or bracket to minimize strain on the joint.

Usage recommendations

Verify material compatibility with the system medium and follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer instructions for press fittings and threaded connections. Use certified press tools and the correct jaws for 16 mm press fittings. Inspect press joints and threaded seals for leaks after initial system fill and during commissioning.
