Straight Connector 16MM PEX ALU PEX Pipe

Product Information

Brass Oyster™ converters are available in our range of Oyster System. Suitable for use on heating and potable water systems, Oyster converters connect copper tubes to female threaded fittings, radiators and valves. All the pipe fittings to get the job done PEX – Cross-linked high-density polyethylene (PEX) is ductile and tough and works well in very low temperatures. When installing be aware that it can expand drastically and it needs to be shielded when used outdoors because it is susceptible to UV. At BES, we offer a comprehensive range of refrigeration fittings, including tees, elbows, reducers, and end caps.

Couplers - These have two threaded ends that allow two pipes or tubes to be joined, welded (steel), brazed or soldered (copper, brass etc.) together. Barbed fittings can be pushed straight in to 16 mm outside diameter LDPE pipe. This is however a lot of pushing and can be made much easier by heating the pipe prior to installation. If you are fitting a few fittings then leaving the pipe in a warm place over night or in the sun during the day will ease installation however if you are fitting a lot of them then you should heat the end of the pipe in some very hot water or heat it using a Blow torch. If you are using a blow torch then position the pipe in the flame so that the heat is evenly spread round the pipe. Hold it in the flame for 2 seconds and then remove it from the flame. Now insert the barbed fitting in to the pipe. Elbow - These fittings are installed between two pipes to create a change of direction. They have either a 90 or 45 degree bend in the centre. We pride ourselves on having everything covered when it comes to pipe fittings. Our full range includes: Iron – Malleable (ductile) iron is a good choice in industry because it is stronger than copper and plastic but it is rarely used in domestic installations.Our press-fit fittings range includes connectors, reducers, tees, elbows, couplers & more from top brands such as IBP Conex >B<, Pegler and BESt. Copper – can withstand very high temperatures. Always used for the final connections made to boilers/ furnaces for central heating. Bulkhead adapters that can connect tubing or piping of different sizes and configurations through a panel Elbow fittings are used to connect pipes at curved angles (such as 90 degree and 45 degree curves) depending on the model The WRAS approval determines that this product can be used in all UK domestic plumbing applications including drinking water installations – as well as central heating and underfloor heating applications.

Reducer - If a pipe needs to change diameter a reducer fixture connects the different sized ends together. Pipe fittings help the flow of liquids or gas. They are used to connect systems of straight pieces of pipe and can change the direction of flow. Fittings can also assist flow through diameter changes between sections of piping. There are many different types of fittings and these can all be made out of different materials. Common Types of pipe fittings We have a wide range of pipe fitting accessories available. From PVC and ABS to stainless steel and brass, there is a huge selection to choose from. Our top brands include RS PRO, Legris, George Fischer and JG Speedfit. What are pipe fittings? Our high-quality compression fittings selection includes adaptors, couplers, elbows, nuts, olives, stop ends, tees, tank connectors & many more.

What are stainless steel pipe fittings used for?

PVC & ABS – light and non-toxic. They have more 'give' than copper therefore when water freezes and expands in the piping there is little chance of it busting. Whether you’re working for parts for a domestic heating system, exterior commercial system or simply want fittings with improved corrosion resistance, we have the stainless steel fittings you need. Stainless steel screwed, flexible, compression, tube and press-fit ranges are available. Whether you’re looking for elbows, plugs, caps, nipples, naming but a few, our selection of malleable iron fittings will have what you are looking for. Stainless Steel – Often used for aesthetic reasons where plumbing is exposed. More corrosion resistant than copper but more rigid.
