Angle Adapter Nipple TECE 16x1/2" Brass, model 707516

TECE Angle Adapter Nipple 16x1/2" in brass provides an angled transition between 16 mm metric tubing and 1/2" male threaded fittings. The fitting is intended for plumbing and heating systems where a compact, angular connection is required to change from a press-fit or push-fit 16 mm pipe to a standard 1/2" thread. Constructed from dezincification-resistant brass, the adapter is suitable for potable water installations and offers an easy-to-install solution for tightening space constraints and alignment differences.

Advantages

The brass construction ensures corrosion resistance and long service life in typical domestic and commercial water systems. The angled design reduces the need for additional fittings by enabling a direct change of connection standard and allowing space-saving routes in tight installation conditions. The adapter is compatible with standard 16 mm pipe systems and 1/2" threaded valves and fixtures, providing reliable mechanical connection and water-tight performance when installed according to good practice.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16 mm water or heating pipes to 1/2" threaded valves and fixtures
• Plumbing repairs where an angled transition is needed to clear obstacles or save space
• Retrofit work in bathrooms, kitchens, and heating manifolds
• Domestic and light commercial potable water systems

Key specifications

• Material: Brass suitable for potable water
• Connection A: 16 mm (metric pipe connection)
• Connection B: 1/2" male threaded connection
• Design: Angled adapter nipple for compact routing
• Typical applications: Plumbing and heating installations

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm pipe end according to the pipe system manufacturer’s instructions (cut square, deburr and clean). Screw the 1/2" male thread into the corresponding female fitting or valve using appropriate sealing method if required (e.g., PTFE tape or thread sealant) following local plumbing codes. Ensure the adapter is aligned to achieve the desired angle and tighten to the recommended torque to avoid overtightening. Verify the final assembly for leaks under working pressure before completing insulation or concealment.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter only with compatible 16 mm pipe systems and 1/2" threaded fittings. Do not overtighten threads; follow torque recommendations from the valve or fitting manufacturer. For potable water installations, use fittings and sealants approved for drinking water. If unsure about installation, consult a qualified plumber.
