REHAU fitting sleeve PX 16 for RAUTITAN piping systems, compression connection for 16 mm

REHAU fitting sleeve PX 16 is a compression connection component designed for use with RAUTITAN piping systems on 16 mm polymer pipes. The sleeve provides a compact mechanical seal that is suitable for potable water and heating installations, enabling secure joints without soldering or adhesives. It is intended for joining, extending, or repairing RAUTITAN pipes where a robust, low-profile connection is required.

Advantages

The compression sleeve offers a reliable mechanical seal that simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional sealing materials. Its compact design minimizes space requirements in tight installations and ensures a flush fit with 16 mm piping. The component is compatible with RAUTITAN polymer pipes and supports potable water and heating applications, maintaining system integrity under normal operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Joining 16 mm RAUTITAN polymer pipes
• Repairing or replacing damaged sections of RAUTITAN piping
• Creating compact connections in potable water installations
• Creating compact connections in residential or light commercial heating systems

Key specifications

• Connection type: compression connection for 16 mm pipes
• Compatible pipe material: RAUTITAN polymer piping
• Application: potable water and heating systems
• Design: compact, low-profile fitting sleeve
• Installation: mechanical seal without soldering or adhesive

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by cutting square and deburring to ensure a clean seating surface. Slide the compression sleeve onto the pipe and position the mating component or pipe end to be joined. Follow the manufacturer's recommended tightening sequence and torque for compression fittings to achieve the intended mechanical seal. After assembly, check the joint visually and perform a pressure test according to system requirements to confirm leak-tightness.

Usage recommendations

Use with correctly sized 16 mm RAUTITAN polymer pipes and ensure pipe ends are fully inserted before compression. Observe local plumbing codes and perform pressure testing after installation. For long-term reliability, avoid exposing the connection to excessive mechanical stress or unsupported bending near the joint.
