Male adapter PRESS-PPSU IVAR.PZ PPSU 20 x 1/2" M for ALPEX pipe
Code: 82820762Product detailed description
The IVAR.PZ PPSU 20 x 1/2" M adapter (code 82820762) has a press end for 20x2 pipes on one side and a 1/2" male thread on the other. It is used to connect ALPEX, TURATEC or PEX pipe to fittings with a female thread, for example ball valves or angle valves.
Features
- PPSU body, AISI 304 stainless steel press sleeve, EPDM O-ring, polycarbonate positioning ring
- max. operating pressure PN 10, temperature range +3 to +95 °C
- hygiene certificate for drinking water
- overall length 59 mm, weight 20 g
- radial pressing with jaws of profile B or F (according to the manual also TH)
Installation
When tightening the threaded fitting, hold the adapter body against rotation, otherwise the pipe may twist in the press joint. For sealing the thread, the IVAR manual recommends PTFE cord or tape; with hemp and approved paste, keep the thread crests visible and avoid excessive tightening torque. An unpressed joint leaks during the pressure test between 1 and 6.5 bar, so it is detected before the pipework is covered.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 20 x 1/2" M adapter used for?
It connects ALPEX, TURATEC or PEX pipe with a 20 mm diameter to a fitting with a 1/2" female thread, for example a ball valve or an angle valve.
What should the thread be sealed with?
The IVAR manual recommends PTFE cord or PTFE tape. With hemp and approved paste, the thread crests must remain visible – too much hemp or excessive torque can damage the fitting.
What should I watch out for when tightening the fitting?
Hold the adapter body against rotation while tightening the threaded fitting, otherwise the pipe may twist in the press joint.
Which jaws are used to press the adapter?
Radially, with B or F profile jaws for the 20 mm diameter; the manual also allows the TH profile. Calibrate and deburr the pipe before inserting it and check its position in the windows of the positioning ring.
