TDM Brass 1465E Double Demountable Elbow 18x18 mm

The TDM Brass 1465E Double Demountable Elbow 18x18 mm is a high-quality plumbing component engineered for secure and efficient pipe connections. Crafted from durable brass with a nickel finish, this fitting provides excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring long-term reliability in various fluid transport systems. Its 90-degree angle design facilitates smooth directional changes in piping layouts, while the demountable mechanism allows for straightforward assembly and disassembly without the need for specialized tools.

Advantages

This double demountable elbow stands out due to its robust construction and versatile design. The use of high-grade brass ensures structural integrity under varying pressure conditions, while the nickel plating adds an extra layer of protection against environmental factors. The demountable feature is particularly beneficial for systems that require periodic maintenance, inspection, or future adjustments, as it allows technicians to disconnect and reconnect the joint without damaging the pipes or the fitting itself.

Suitable for

• Residential plumbing systems
• Heating and cooling circuit installations
• Maintenance and repair of existing 18 mm pipe networks
• Professional piping configurations requiring precise 90-degree turns

This fitting may not be suitable for high-pressure industrial steam applications or systems involving highly corrosive chemicals that exceed the material compatibility of nickel-plated brass. It is also not intended for use with pipe materials that are incompatible with standard mechanical compression fittings.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass with nickel finish
• Connection size: 18x18 mm
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Operating temperature range: -20°C to +110°C
• Connection count: 2

To install the TDM Brass 1465E, ensure the pipe ends are cut cleanly and are free of burrs. Insert the pipes into the fitting ports until they reach the internal stop. Tighten the nuts manually and then use a wrench to secure the connection, ensuring the compression ring creates a watertight seal. The demountable nature of the fitting allows for easy loosening if realignment or maintenance is required.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your pipe diameter is exactly 18 mm
• Check that the operating temperature of your system falls within the -20°C to +110°C range
• Ensure the fitting material is compatible with the fluid being transported
• Confirm that you have the necessary tools for tightening the compression nuts

For optimal performance and to prevent leaks, always ensure that the pipe ends are perfectly circular and free from scratches or debris before installation. Do not overtighten the nuts, as this may damage the compression seal.
