PERLA Male Adaptor 20mm x 3/4 inch Blue

The PERLA male adaptor 20mm x 3/4 inch is a robust plumbing component engineered for reliable and secure connections in water supply systems. Constructed from high-quality polypropylene, this fitting is designed to withstand the demands of both professional plumbing installations and residential piping projects. Its durable build ensures consistent performance under pressure, providing a dependable solution for joining pipes with different connection types.

Advantages

This male adaptor offers exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, thanks to its high-grade polypropylene construction. The precision-engineered threads ensure a tight, leak-proof seal, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of water distribution systems. Its lightweight design simplifies handling and installation, while the high pressure rating of 16 bar demonstrates its suitability for demanding hydraulic applications. The blue and black finish provides clear identification and a professional appearance in any plumbing setup.

Suitable for

• Connecting 20mm pipes to 3/4 inch threaded components
• Residential water supply systems
• Professional irrigation and plumbing installations
• Agricultural water distribution networks

When it may not be suitable

This adaptor is not intended for use with high-temperature steam or chemical systems that are incompatible with polypropylene. It should not be used in applications where the operating pressure exceeds 16 bar or where the pipe diameter does not match the 20mm specification.

Key specifications

• Material: Polypropylene
• Pipe diameter: 20 mm
• Thread size: 3/4 inch external thread
• Maximum pressure: 16 Bar
• Colour: Blue and black

How to use

To install the PERLA male adaptor, ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and deburred to prevent damage to the internal seals. Insert the 20mm pipe into the compression side of the fitting until it is fully seated. Tighten the nut securely to create a watertight connection. For the 3/4 inch threaded side, apply appropriate thread sealant tape to the external threads before screwing the adaptor into the corresponding female fitting. Tighten by hand or with a suitable tool, ensuring not to overtighten to avoid damaging the plastic threads.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your existing pipe matches the 20mm requirement
• Ensure the female connection point is compatible with a 3/4 inch external thread
• Check that the system pressure does not exceed the 16 bar limit
• Confirm that the fluid being transported is compatible with polypropylene

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for signs of leakage or wear, especially in systems subject to frequent pressure fluctuations. Ensure that the pipe is properly supported to prevent mechanical stress on the adaptor.
