Brass transition nipple TECE 20 mm to 1/2" G male (model 8610104)

TECE brass transition nipple for 20 mm pipe to 1/2" G male threaded fitting. Constructed from brass to provide corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, this fitting is intended for transitioning between metric pipework and imperial threaded fixtures in plumbing systems. The design addresses water supply and general plumbing installation tasks where a secure, threaded connection is required between a 20 mm tubing and a 1/2" G threaded component.

Advantages

The brass construction offers durability and resistance to corrosion in typical potable water and indoor plumbing environments. A compact, machined profile ensures reliable sealing with commonly used thread sealants or tape and reduces the risk of leaks when installed correctly. The male G thread is compatible with standard 1/2" threaded fittings, enabling straightforward integration into mixed-dimension plumbing configurations.

Suitable for

• Connecting 20 mm metric pipe to 1/2" G threaded fixtures
• Domestic and commercial water supply installations
• Repair or modification of plumbing systems with mixed metric and imperial components

Key specifications

• Material: brass for corrosion resistance and mechanical strength
• Connection A: 20 mm pipe connection suitable for standard 20 mm tubing
• Connection B: 1/2" G male threaded connection compatible with 1/2" G fittings
• Typical application: potable water and general plumbing use
• Finish: machined brass surface

How to use

Prepare the 20 mm pipe by cutting squarely and deburring the end. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the 1/2" G male thread following the sealant manufacturer's instructions. Insert and tighten the nipple into the 20 mm fitting or pipe connection and then thread the male G end into the mating 1/2" fitting; use appropriate tools and avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage. After installation, inspect joints for proper alignment and perform a pressure test according to local plumbing standards to verify leak-free operation.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible sealants and follow local plumbing codes. For installations exposed to aggressive environments or potable water systems with specific certification requirements, verify material suitability and compliance prior to installation.
