Female thread connector K5 C/Z water PN10 20/ 3/4" 3079791

Transition fitting for water and heating installations

This GW K5 C/Z fitting, made of high-quality polyphenylene sulfone (PPSU), connects a 20 mm PEX pipe to a 3/4 inch internal thread. It is a reliable solution for creating tight and durable connections in drinking water and central heating systems. The use of PPSU ensures resistance to corrosion, high temperatures and impacts, guaranteeing long-term operation.

Design and application

The transition fitting with an internal thread allows easy connection of elements made of different materials. Its design based on radial crimping technology, combined with a steel crimping sleeve, ensures high strength and connection safety. Brass DZR (CW 724R) threaded inserts guarantee resistance to dezincification and ensure the highest quality of drinking water, meeting the PN EN 12165 standard. Additionally, the fitting has a support collar that increases the stability of the connection.

Functionality and benefits for the installer

The Wavin Tigris K5 system features an innovative Acoustic Leak Alert function – acoustic leak detection. An uncompressed fitting signals its presence with a loud whistle during a pressure test with air, which greatly facilitates problem location and reduces installation time. The slim design of the fitting makes it easier to insulate the pipelines later, eliminating problems related to the thickness of the fittings in the case of traditional connection methods. Flow optimization thanks to OPTIFLOW technology minimizes pressure losses in the installation. The fitting is 100% compatible with existing multilayer composite pipe systems Wavin for drinking water and heating/cooling installations.
