When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use with gas supply lines or high-pressure industrial steam systems where specific certifications and material requirements differ from standard plumbing brass. It is also not compatible with pipe materials that are not designed for press-fit connection methods.

Key specifications

• Material: High-quality brass
• Connection type: Press fitting
• Size: 20 mm x 16 mm
• Application: Water supply and heating systems

How to use

To install the TDM Brass 1640 press fitting, ensure the pipe ends are cut cleanly and deburred to prevent damage to the internal O-ring. Insert the pipe fully into the fitting until it reaches the stop point. Use a compatible press tool with the correct jaw profile to compress the fitting onto the pipe. Verify that the connection is secure and free of debris before pressurizing the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of your pipe material with press-fit technology.
• Ensure you have access to a calibrated press tool suitable for this fitting size.
• Check local building codes regarding the use of brass fittings in your specific plumbing application.

Usage recommendations

Always perform a pressure test on the completed installation before concealing the pipes behind walls or flooring to ensure all connections are perfectly sealed.
