Female thread connector K5 C/Z water PN10 20/ 1/2" 3079790

Universal connector for water and heating installations

This GW K5 C/Z PN10 20x1/2" connector from Wavin, made of durable polyphenylene sulfone (PPSU), combines durability and functionality. It is an element designed to connect system pipes with a diameter of 20 mm with a 1/2 inch internal thread. The use of high-quality materials guarantees resistance to corrosion, high temperatures and pressure, making it an ideal solution for both professional installers and end users.

Design and application

The connector has a compression socket and a BSPP (ISO 228-1) internal thread, allowing its universal use in various installation configurations. Made of PPSU, it is characterized by high resistance to mechanical and chemical damage. Therefore, it is suitable for transporting drinking water and in central heating systems. The maximum working pressure is 10 bar, and the permissible operating temperature reaches 70°C – ensuring safe and reliable operation under typical operating conditions. Additionally, the presence of a retaining collar increases the stability of the connection.

Key features and benefits

• Durability and resistance: PPSU construction ensures long-term operation even in harsh conditions. This material is resistant to corrosion, high temperatures and deposits, minimizing the risk of failure and extending the life of the installation.
• Versatility: The combination of a compression socket and an internal thread allows for easy adaptation to various elements of the hydraulic system.
• Safety: DVGW quality mark for water and KIWA certificate confirm compliance with safety standards and high quality of workmanship.
• Easy installation: Simple construction facilitates quick and precise installation, saving time and labor costs.
• Acoustic Leak Alert: Some versions of the Tigris K5 connectors have an innovative acoustic leak detection function – a loud whistle indicates a lack of tightness during the air pressure test, making it easier to locate the problem.
• Compatibility: Fully compatible with Wavin Tigris K5/M5 multilayer systems and other standard hydraulic installation elements.
• High flow rate: Optimized flow thanks to OPTIFLOW technology minimizes pressure loss in the installation.
• Threaded inserts: Durable threaded inserts made of lead-free DZR brass ensure the tightness and durability of the threaded connection.

The GW K5 C/Z PN10 20x1/2" connector is a reliable solution for demanding water and heating installations, combining high quality workmanship, durability and ease of installation.
