Varioterm compression fitting 16/2 x M22/1.5 black – plumbing connector

Compression fitting by Varioterm in black finish, designed to connect a 16 mm pipe with 2 mm wall thickness to a component with M22 x 1.5 male thread. This plumbing connector forms a sealed mechanical joint suitable for potable water systems, heating circuits and general hydraulic connections where a threaded outlet is required. The design focuses on reliable sealing and straightforward installation without special tools.

Advantages

The compression fitting delivers a durable seal between plastic or metal 16/2 pipes and M22 threaded outlets, minimizing risk of leaks under normal operating pressures. Its black finish provides corrosion resistance and a discreet appearance in visible installations. The product supports quick assembly and disassembly for maintenance, and its compression mechanism accommodates small dimensional variations in pipe OD for consistent performance.

Suitable for

• Connection of 16 mm (2 mm wall) plumbing pipes to M22 x 1.5 threaded valves and fixtures
• Domestic potable water supply installations
• Heating circuit connections and radiator fittings
• General hydraulic lines where a threaded outlet is required

Key specifications

• Pipe size compatibility: 16 mm external diameter with 2 mm wall thickness
• Thread type: female coupling for M22 x 1.5 male thread
• Finish: black
• Connection type: compression fitting (mechanical seal)
• Intended media: potable water, heating fluids, general hydraulic fluids

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm pipe by cutting square and deburring the end to ensure a clean contact surface. Slide the compression nut and ferrule (if supplied) onto the pipe, insert the pipe end fully into the fitting body, and tighten the nut by hand until engagement, then secure with a wrench to the recommended torque for compression fittings of this size. Verify the alignment to the M22 threaded component and engage the thread; tighten to form the mechanical seal. After installation, pressurize the system and inspect for leaks. For disassembly, loosen the compression nut and withdraw the pipe; replace any worn sealing components before reassembly.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate tightening torque and compatible pipe materials to ensure a reliable seal; avoid excessive force that can deform the pipe or fitting. Confirm compatibility of the fitting with the fluid type and operating temperatures in your system, and follow local plumbing codes when installing connections for potable water and heating systems.
