Push-fit female connector PEGLER YORKSHIRE 45210 for 18 mm pipe, 1/2" BSP threaded

The PEGLER YORKSHIRE 45210 push-fit female connector is designed for use with 18 mm (Ø18) plastic or metal pipe and a 1/2" BSP female threaded fitting. It provides a mechanical, tool-free connection that allows quick assembly and disassembly without soldering or adhesives. The connector combines a push-fit pipe end and a threaded inlet to join flexible or rigid pipework to standard 1/2" BSP valves, radiators or fittings in water and heating systems.

Advantages

This female connector enables fast installation and reduces labour time by eliminating the need for hot works or special tools. The push-fit end gives a secure, leak-resistant seal for compatible 18 mm pipes while the 1/2" BSP threaded inlet ensures compatibility with standard plumbing fittings. The product is suitable for repair and retrofit work where a reliable mechanical joint with minimal preparation is required.

Suitable for

• Connecting 18 mm pipe to 1/2" BSP valves and fittings
• Radiator supply and return connections in central heating systems
• Plumbing repairs and emergency pipe connections
• Retrofit installations where soldering is impractical or restricted

Key specifications

• Pipe compatibility: 18 mm (Ø18) plastic or metal pipe
• Thread type: 1/2" BSP female inlet
• Connection method: push-fit (push to connect) on pipe end
• Material: corrosion-resistant materials suitable for potable water and heating systems
• Sealing: integrated elastomer O-ring for leak-resistant joint

How to use

Ensure the pipe end is cut square, deburred and free of dirt or burrs. Push the prepared 18 mm pipe firmly into the push-fit end until it reaches the internal stop; a tactile or audible click may confirm engagement. Screw the 1/2" BSP female threaded inlet onto the mating male thread of the valve or fitting and tighten to the required torque using standard plumbing tools. After assembly, test the joint under system pressure to confirm there are no leaks.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible 18 mm pipe types recommended by the pipe manufacturer and follow applicable plumbing codes. Do not use solvents or solder on the push-fit joint. If disassembly is required, refer to the manufacturer's method for releasing the push-fit mechanism to avoid damage to the pipe or connector.
