Description The Reducing Compression Couplings are used to connect two polyethylene (PELD, PEMD and PEHD) and PPR pipes of different diameters for the distribution of pressurised fluids in irrigation and water systems. They meet the requirements of the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme for potable water and have an operating temperature range of -10°C to 80°C. The coupling does not have to be completely disassembled to install (see Installation tab) and is designed and tested to guarantee a PN16 working pressure. It is used in drinking water conveyance systems in aqueducts and civil installations, in irrigation and gardening, fire-fighting systems, geothermal systems, waste and industrial water conveyance and compressed air systems. Installation Cut the pipe squarely and chamfer the ends. Loosen the nut to open the clinching ring and make the pipe easier to insert. The nut and the inside components (thrust ring and O-ring) should not extracted from the body. Gently push the pipe into the fitting until it stops inside the body Tighten the nut completely. The fitting is now ready for use.
