Compression coupling Perfexim GZ 16 mm x 1/2" (61-001-1615-000) for plumbing fittings

Compression coupling Perfexim GZ 16 mm x 1/2" is a metal plumbing connector designed to join a 16 mm pipe to a 1/2" threaded fitting. It creates a sealed mechanical connection without the need for soldering or specialized tools, making it suitable for water supply and heating installations as well as repair works where a reliable transition between a tube and a threaded fitting is required.

Advantages

The compression coupling provides a leak-resistant joint through a compression sleeve and nut, ensuring durable performance in typical domestic and commercial plumbing systems. Its metal construction offers mechanical strength and resistance to deformation under compression. Installation is quick and reversible, which simplifies maintenance and replacements. The design accommodates common copper or plastic 16 mm pipes and standard 1/2" threaded fixtures used in sanitary and heating applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16 mm pipes to 1/2" threaded valves, fittings or fixtures
• Domestic water supply lines and heating circuits
• Repair and retrofit work where soldering is not desired or possible
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring a mechanical sealed connection

Key specifications

• Pipe connection diameter: 16 mm
• Thread size: 1/2" (internal/external threaded fitting interface)
• Material: metal compression body and nut for mechanical sealing
• Connection type: compression to threaded fitting
• Application medium: potable water and heating fluids

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm pipe by cutting it squarely and deburring the end. Slide the compression nut and sleeve onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the coupling body until it seats firmly, then tighten the nut by hand and finish with an appropriate wrench to the manufacturer's recommended torque or until a secure, leak-free joint is achieved. When connecting to a threaded fitting, ensure the threads are clean and, if required for the specific installation, apply suitable sealing tape or sealant on the fitting threads before engaging the coupling.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use with compatible 16 mm pipe materials as indicated by system requirements, avoid over-tightening the compression nut to prevent deformation of the sleeve, and test the assembled joint under system pressure before final commissioning.
