TDM Brass Trident 18mm Three-Piece Fitting

The TDM Brass Trident 18mm three-piece fitting is a professional-grade plumbing component engineered for creating secure, leak-proof connections in fluid distribution systems. Constructed from high-quality brass, this fitting offers exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability in both residential and commercial piping installations. Its precise three-piece design allows for easy assembly and disassembly, facilitating efficient maintenance and system adjustments without the need for extensive pipe modifications.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this brass fitting lies in its robust construction, which provides superior mechanical strength and pressure resistance compared to standard alternatives. The three-piece configuration simplifies the installation process by allowing the connection to be tightened or loosened independently of the connected pipes. Furthermore, the high-quality brass material prevents oxidation and degradation over time, maintaining a consistent flow and structural integrity within the plumbing network.

Suitable for

• Connecting 18mm pipes in water supply systems
• Heating system installations and maintenance
• Professional plumbing repairs requiring reliable, detachable joints
• Fluid distribution networks where periodic maintenance is expected

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is specifically designed for 18mm pipe diameters and will not be compatible with systems using different pipe sizes. It is also not intended for use in environments with highly aggressive chemicals that could react with brass or in high-pressure steam applications exceeding the manufacturer's specified limits.

Key specifications

• Material: High-quality brass
• Connection size: 18mm
• Design: Three-piece fitting
• Application: Fluid distribution and plumbing systems

How to use

To install the TDM Brass Trident fitting, ensure the pipe ends are cut cleanly and deburred to prevent damage to the internal seals. Slide the components onto the pipe ends, align them carefully, and tighten the central nut to compress the seal and create a secure, watertight connection. Use appropriate plumbing tools to ensure the fitting is tightened sufficiently without applying excessive force that could damage the threads.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing pipework is exactly 18mm in diameter
• Ensure the fitting material is compatible with the fluid being transported
• Check the pressure and temperature requirements of your specific system

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for signs of moisture or pressure loss after initial installation, especially in systems subject to thermal expansion and contraction. Ensure that the fitting is not under mechanical stress from misaligned pipes to maintain the longevity of the seal.
