TDM Brass Pressed Adapter 1630 16mm x 1/2 inch

The TDM Brass 1630 pressed adapter is a high-quality plumbing fitting engineered for creating secure and permanent connections in water supply and heating systems. This component features a 16mm press connection on one side and a 1/2 inch threaded end on the other, providing a versatile solution for transitioning between different pipe types or connecting to threaded equipment. Constructed from durable brass, this adapter is designed to withstand demanding conditions while maintaining a reliable, leak-proof seal.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this TDM Brass adapter is its robust construction, which ensures long-term durability and resistance to corrosion in various plumbing environments. The precision-engineered press connection allows for rapid and efficient installation, significantly reducing labor time compared to traditional soldering or threading methods. Its wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for both cold water supply and high-temperature heating applications, providing consistent performance and structural integrity under pressure.

Suitable for

• Residential and commercial water supply systems
• Hydronic heating and cooling infrastructure
• Connecting press-fit piping to threaded valves or fixtures
• HVAC system maintenance and installation

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is not intended for use with gas piping systems or high-pressure steam lines. It is specifically designed for standard plumbing and heating applications and should not be used in environments where the chemical composition of the fluid could cause dezincification or degradation of the brass material.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Connection type: 16mm press x 1/2 inch thread
• Operating temperature range: -20°C to +120°C

How to use

To install the adapter, ensure the pipe end is clean, deburred, and free of debris. Insert the pipe into the 16mm press end of the fitting until it reaches the stop. Use a compatible pressing tool with the appropriate jaw profile to compress the fitting onto the pipe, ensuring a secure and permanent seal. For the threaded end, apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape before connecting to the corresponding threaded component, tightening carefully with a wrench to avoid over-torquing.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of your pressing tool with the 16mm fitting profile
• Ensure the pipe material is compatible with press-fit technology
• Check that the 1/2 inch thread matches your existing valve or fixture

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the connection for leaks after the system has been pressurized. Ensure that the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting before pressing to guarantee the integrity of the seal.
