TECE alternative connector for pipes 3/4" x 16mm TECE 77211600

TECE alternative connector for pipes 3/4" x 16mm is a compact mechanical adapter designed to join 3/4-inch fittings to 16 mm pipe systems. Manufactured by TECE, the connector provides a reliable transition between imperial and metric plumbing dimensions and is intended for use in water supply installations in residential and commercial buildings. The fitting is engineered for straightforward integration with compatible pipe materials and common plumbing fixtures, offering a space-efficient solution where a change of pipe diameter or fitting thread is required.

Advantages

The connector delivers a secure mechanical connection without the need for complex tools, ensuring consistent performance in typical plumbing conditions. Its compact form reduces installation space and simplifies routing in confined areas. Designed by TECE, the component meets industry expectations for dimensional compatibility and durability for water supply applications, helping reduce installation time when adapting between 3/4" fittings and 16 mm pipework.

Suitable for

• Connecting 3/4" threaded fittings to 16 mm pipe systems
• Retrofit projects where imperial-to-metric transition is required
• Domestic water supply lines and small commercial installations
• Situations with limited installation space requiring compact connectors

Key specifications

• Connection dimensions: 3/4" (imperial) to 16 mm (metric)
• Type: mechanical pipe adapter for water supply
• Intended use: potable water distribution and general plumbing systems
• Compact design suitable for tight installation spaces

How to use

Prepare both the 3/4" fitting and the 16 mm pipe by ensuring clean, deburred ends and correct insertion depth as recommended for the pipe material in use. Install the connector by engaging the 3/4" interface with the corresponding fitting and inserting the 16 mm pipe fully into the opposite end. Tighten or secure according to the connector type and the manufacturer's recommended practice for the piping system to achieve a leak-free joint. After installation, perform a pressure test or visual inspection as appropriate for the system to confirm correct sealing.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible pipe materials and fittings rated for the same water pressure and temperature ranges. Follow local plumbing codes and the pipe manufacturer's guidelines for installation, sealing, and testing. Replace any connector showing signs of wear, corrosion, or damage to maintain system integrity.
