Brass transition coupling TECE 16 mm x 1/2" G male thread (8610002)

TECE brass transition coupling with a 16 mm push-fit connection and a 1/2" G male threaded end is a compact metal adapter designed for plumbing installations. The coupling provides a corrosion-resistant transition between 16 mm plastic or metal pipe and standard 1/2" threaded fittings. Its compact design suits new installations, repair work, and retrofit projects where a reliable mechanical joint is required between pipe systems and threaded valves, taps or fittings.

Advantages

The coupling is manufactured from brass to resist corrosion and provide long-term mechanical strength. The 16 mm push-fit interface enables quick, tool-free connection to suitable pipes while the 1/2" G male thread ensures compatibility with common threaded components. The compact form factor reduces space requirements at connection points and the metal construction offers improved durability compared with plastic transition fittings.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16 mm plastic or metal water pipe to 1/2" threaded valves and taps
• Plumbing repair and retrofit work in domestic and commercial water distribution
• Compact installations where space around fittings is limited

Key specifications

• Material: brass (corrosion-resistant metal)
• Pipe connection: 16 mm push-fit
• Threaded connection: 1/2" G male thread
• Application: potable water distribution and general plumbing use
• Design: compact transition coupling for mechanical joining of pipe to threaded fittings

How to use

Ensure the pipe end is cut square and free of burrs or debris, then fully insert the 16 mm pipe into the push-fit connection until it reaches the stop. Hand-tighten the 1/2" G male thread into the corresponding threaded fitting or valve, using appropriate sealing method on the thread if required by the installation (for example PTFE tape or thread sealant suitable for potable water). After assembly, pressurize the system and inspect the joint for leaks.

Usage recommendations

Use with pipes and fittings rated for the intended fluid, temperature and pressure. Follow local plumbing codes for sealing threads and for installation practice. If disassembly of the push-fit connection is required, consult the pipe and fitting manufacturer’s instructions to avoid damage.
