• Repairing or extending existing water lines
• Installation of faucets and angle valves
• Professional plumbing maintenance and renovation projects

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use in high-pressure industrial steam systems or gas distribution lines. It is specifically designed for standard water supply applications and may not be compatible with pipes made of materials other than those specified for compression connections.

Key specifications

• Connection size: 1/2 inch thread
• Outlet size: 10 mm compression
• Material: Brass
• Finish: Chrome
• Connection count: 2

How to use

To install the fitting, ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and is free of burrs. Slide the compression nut and the compression ring onto the pipe. Insert the pipe into the fitting body until it reaches the stop. Tighten the nut onto the fitting by hand initially, then use a suitable wrench to tighten it further until a secure, leak-proof connection is achieved. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the compression ring or the pipe.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your pipe matches the 10 mm compression outlet
• Ensure the 1/2 inch thread is compatible with your existing valve or pipe connection
• Check if you have the necessary tools, such as an adjustable wrench, for installation

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for any signs of moisture or leaks after the initial installation. Ensure that the pipe is properly supported to prevent unnecessary stress on the fitting over time.
