• Operating temperature range: -20°C to +120°C

How to use

To install the TDM Brass 1680 pressed 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, ensuring a permanent, leak-proof connection. For the threaded side, apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male component before screwing it into the 1/2 inch internal thread of the elbow, tightening it securely with a wrench.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of your pressing tool with 16mm fittings
• Ensure the pipe material is suitable for press-fit connections
• Check that the 1/2 inch thread matches your existing male component

Usage recommendations: Always perform a pressure test on the system after installation to confirm that all connections are secure and leak-free before concealing the pipes behind walls or flooring.
