TECE TECEflex transition fitting 16x1/2" (male G) model 740141 for multilayer pipe connections

TECE TECEflex transition fitting 16x1/2" (male G) model 740141 is a compact plumbing connector designed for multilayer (PEX/AL/PEX) pipe systems. It provides a reliable transition between a 16 mm multilayer pipe and a 1/2" male G threaded outlet, making it suitable for potable water and heating installations where a secure threaded connection is required. The fitting is built to standard plumbing dimensions and intended for integration with TECEflex multilayer piping and common threaded fixtures.

Advantages

The TECEflex transition fitting delivers a space-efficient connection with stable mechanical properties and leak-resistant performance when installed according to manufacturer instructions. Its design facilitates straightforward assembly between multilayer pipe and male G threaded components, reducing installation time and ensuring consistent alignment. The fitting's compact form factor is suitable for installations in confined areas and behind fixtures.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16 mm multilayer (PEX/AL/PEX) pipe to 1/2" male G threaded fittings
• Potable water distribution systems
• Domestic central heating circuits and radiator connections
• Installation in confined or concealed spaces where compact fittings are required

Key specifications

• Pipe connection size: 16 mm (multilayer PEX/AL/PEX)
• Threaded outlet: 1/2" male G
• Application: potable water and heating systems
• Connection type: transition fitting between press/crimped multilayer pipe and threaded component
• Form factor: compact inline transition fitting suitable for concealed installation

How to use

Cut the multilayer pipe square and remove any burrs or debris. Slide the appropriate TECEflex compression or press sleeve (as required for your system) onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop, and secure the connection using the correct TECE fastening method and tools. Thread the 1/2" male G outlet into the mating female thread of the fixture or valve, applying suitable thread sealant or tape if required by the installation rules. Verify alignment and pressure-test the installation according to local codes and manufacturer recommendations.

Usage recommendations

Use only compatible TECEflex or approved multilayer components and the recommended installation tools to ensure proper sealing and mechanical strength. Follow local plumbing regulations and perform a pressure test after installation. Avoid overtightening the threaded connection to prevent damage to the fitting or mating components.
