Angle fitting TECE TECEflex 20(18)x1/2" GW, model 768520 for manifold connections

TECE TECEflex angle fitting model 768520 provides a compact right-angle connection between TECEflex plastic pipe and a 1/2" female threaded fitting. It is designed for plumbing and heating systems where a secure transition from a flexible plastic distribution line to a threaded manifold or component is required. The fitting accommodates a 20(18) mm TECEflex pipe and delivers a reliable connection in confined installation spaces.

Advantages

The fitting offers a space-saving 90° change of direction with corrosion-resistant materials suitable for potable water and heating circuits. Its design ensures a tight mechanical connection to TECEflex pipe and a standardized 1/2" female thread for compatibility with common manifolds and valves. The compact shape simplifies installation near manifolds and reduces stress on joints in tight areas.

Suitable for

• Connecting TECEflex 20(18) plastic pipe to 1/2" threaded manifolds and valves
• Plumbing installations in bathrooms, kitchens and service rooms
• Heating distribution branches where a compact angled joint is needed
• Retrofit work and tight-space connections around manifolds

Key specifications

• Pipe connection size: 20(18) mm for TECEflex plastic pipe
• Thread connection: 1/2" female thread (GW)
• Flow direction: 90° angle
• Application: potable water and heating systems
• Installation position: suitable for compact and confined mounting locations

How to use

Prepare the TECEflex pipe by cutting squarely and ensuring the pipe end is clean and free of debris. Insert the prepared pipe into the fitting until it seats fully according to TECEflex installation guidelines, then tighten the threaded 1/2" connection to the manifold or valve using appropriate tools and torque recommendations. Verify the joint aligns correctly and perform a pressure test of the system following local codes and standards to confirm tightness.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible TECEflex installation tools and follow manufacturer instructions for pipe preparation and connection depth. Ensure system flushing and pressure testing after installation. For installations in concealed locations, document the connection position for future maintenance.
