PRESS-PPSU IVAR.PZ PPSU 16 x 1/2" M adapter with external thread for ALPEX pipe
Code: 82816762Product detailed description
The transition fitting IVAR.PZ PPSU 16 x 1/2" M (code 82816762) has a crimping end for 16x2 tubes on one side and an external thread of 1/2" on the other. It is used to connect ALPEX, TURATEC or PEX piping to fittings with internal thread, for example to ball valves or corner valves.
Features
- body made of PPSU plastic, crimping sleeve made of AISI 304 stainless steel, EPDM O-ring, locking ring made of polycarbonate
- max. operating pressure PN 10, temperature range +3 to +95 °C
- hygienic certificate for drinking water
- construction length 58 mm, weight 17 g
- radial crimping with jaws of contour B or F (also TH according to instructions)
Installation
When tightening the threaded fitting, hold the body of the transition fitting to prevent rotation, otherwise the pipe may rotate in the crimped joint. For sealing the thread, IVAR instructions recommend Teflon thread tape or Teflon tape; when using approved compound with hemp, leave the thread tips visible and avoid excessive torque. An uncrimped joint during pressure testing in the range of 1 to 6.5 bar will leak, thus it will be revealed before covering.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 16 x 1/2" M transition used for?
It connects ALPEX, TURATEC or PEX piping with a diameter of 16 mm to a fitting with an internal thread of 1/2", for example to a ball valve or corner valve.
What to use for sealing the thread?
IVAR instructions recommend Teflon thread tape or Teflon tape. When using approved compound with hemp, the thread tips must remain visible – too much hemp or excessive torque can damage the fitting.
What to be careful about when tightening the fitting?
When tightening the threaded fitting, the body of the transition must be held to prevent rotation, otherwise the pipe may rotate in the crimped joint.
With which jaws is the transition crimped?
Radially, with jaws of contour B or F for a diameter of 16 mm; the instructions also allow contour TH. Calibrate and deburr the pipe before sliding it on, and check its position in the inspection areas of the locking ring.
