PE-brass adapter with external thread GZ, d40x1 1/2" PE100, SDR11, PN10 gas/PN16 water, for assembly with electrofusion or electroreduction fitting. 720920729

PE-brass adapter for electrofusion welding

This adapter, made of a combination of polyethylene (PE) and brass, is used to connect PE pipes to installation elements with an external thread. It is designed for electrofusion or electroreduction welding, ensuring a durable and tight connection. This adapter can be used in both gas and water installations, due to its ability to operate at pressures up to 16 bar in water systems and 10 bar in gas systems.

Design and application

The adapter features a two-part design – one side has a plastic socket for welding, and the other has an external GZ thread with a diameter of 1 1/2 inch (40 mm). Made of PE-100 with an SDR 11 ratio, it provides high resistance to cracking and mechanical damage. The brass part of the adapter, made of dezincification-resistant brass (DZR), guarantees durability and corrosion resistance.

This adapter is ideal for transitions between PE pipes and installation elements requiring a threaded connection, such as valves, pressure regulators or other fittings. It can be used in drinking water distribution systems, underfloor heating and gas installations.

Key features and benefits

• Versatility: Can be used in both gas (PN10) and water (PN16) installations.
• Durability: The combination of high-quality materials – PE-100 and DZR brass – ensures long-lasting and reliable operation.
• Tightness: Designed for electrofusion or electroreduction welding, guaranteeing a tight connection without the risk of leaks.
• Resistance: PE-100 material is characterized by high resistance to cracking under stress and to the action of chemical substances present in water and gas.
• Easy installation: Quick and easy installation with standard electrofusion welders – saving time and installation costs.
• Compliance with standards: The product meets the required standards regarding safety and quality of materials used in water and gas installations.
• SDR 11 dimension ratio: Ensures the appropriate wall thickness of the pipe and the strength of the connection at a given working pressure.
• Dezincification-resistant brass (DZR) material: Increases the service life of the adapter by minimizing the risk of corrosion.
