TDM Brass Pressable Elbow Art 1675, 20 mm x 1/2 inch, Internal Thread

The TDM Brass pressable elbow (Art 1675) is a professional-grade plumbing component engineered for creating secure, leak-proof transitions in water supply and heating systems. This fitting features a 20 mm press connection on one side and a 1/2 inch internal thread on the other, allowing for a seamless connection between press-fit piping and threaded components. Constructed from high-quality brass, this elbow is designed to withstand demanding environments while maintaining structural integrity over time.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this brass pressable elbow lies in its robust construction, which provides excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. The precision-engineered design ensures a reliable seal, reducing the risk of leaks in critical plumbing infrastructure. Its ability to operate across a wide temperature range makes it a versatile solution for both hot and cold water distribution, as well as heating circuits, ensuring consistent performance in various residential and commercial applications.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Heating and cooling circuit installations
• Connecting press-fit pipes to threaded valves or fixtures
• Professional plumbing and HVAC maintenance

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use with pipe materials that are incompatible with standard press-fit systems or where the connection diameter does not match the 20 mm specification. It should not be used in high-pressure industrial applications that exceed the rated limits of standard brass plumbing components.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Connection 1: 20 mm press fitting
• Connection 2: 1/2 inch internal thread
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Operating temperature range: -20°C to +120°C

How to use

To install the TDM Brass pressable elbow, ensure the pipe end is clean, deburred, and free of debris. Insert the pipe into the press end of the fitting until it reaches the stop point. Use a compatible pressing tool with the correct profile to compress the fitting onto the pipe, creating a permanent, watertight seal. For the threaded side, apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threaded component before screwing it into the 1/2 inch internal thread of the elbow, tightening it securely with a wrench to avoid over-tightening.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your pipe diameter is exactly 20 mm
• Ensure your pressing tool is compatible with the fitting profile
• Check that the 1/2 inch internal thread matches your existing threaded component
• Confirm the system pressure and temperature requirements are within the specified range

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the connection for proper alignment before applying the pressing tool. Ensure that the system is pressure-tested after installation to verify the integrity of all joints before covering or insulating the pipes.
