Screwed elbow 16x16 with screw connection

Product detailed description

Screwed elbow 16x16 with screw connection - a screw connection that requires no pressing tool, for PEX-AL-PEX pipe (16x2 mm) for water or heating.

This 90° elbow is a great choice whenever you need a reliable joint for PEX-AL-PEX pipe without investing in expensive pressing tools - just a plain wrench and the joint is done in a couple of minutes.

What makes this fitting stand out

• No special tools needed - unlike pressing systems, you don't need expensive pressing jaws, just an open-end wrench.
• Dismountable joint - if needed (system modification, repair) the joint can be disassembled and reassembled again, which is not possible with pressed joints.
• Proven tightness - 2 sealing rubber rings (EPDM) and a brass clamping ring ensure a reliable seal even after repeated tightening.
• Universal use - suitable for underfloor heating, drinking water distribution, radiator piping.

Step-by-step installation

1. Cut the PEX-AL-PEX pipe perpendicular to its axis and use a calibrator to shape the end into a perfectly round form (this also removes any burr left after cutting).
2. Slide the union nut onto the pipe, followed by the clamping ring.
3. Push the pipe fully into the fitting body.
4. Tighten the union nut with an open-end wrench - do not overtighten, just tighten the joint to firm resistance.
5. After filling the system, check the joint for any leaks and tighten slightly further if needed.

Frequently asked questions

• Can this fitting be reused? Yes, unlike pressed joints it can be disassembled and reassembled again, ideal even for minor repairs or system modifications.
• Do I need special tools? No, a standard wrench (open-end wrench) is enough.
• Is it suitable for gas as well? No - for gas distribution always use only components certified for that purpose.
