Polyplumb Taper Male Adaptor - 15Mm X 1/2"

The Polyplumb Enhanced Pushfit Taper Male Adaptor (15mm x 1/2") is a specialized, WRAS Approved fitting designed to securely and permanently connect a 15mm Polyplumb plastic pipe to plumbing components that accept a standard 1/2" BSP Female Thread. This flame-free adaptor is typically used for connecting 15mm branch lines directly into manifolds, certain pump bodies, or valves which feature a female threaded inlet port.

Key Features and Installation Advantages
WRAS Approved: Certified as WRAS Approved, ensuring full compliance with the UK Water Regulations for materials and safety in all domestic plumbing and heating installations.

Size Transition: Connects 15mm Polybutylene (PB) or PEX barrier pipe on one end.

Thread Connection: Features a 1/2" BSP Taper Male Thread on the other end. The tapered thread ensures a reliable, self-sealing connection when screwed into a corresponding 1/2" female port, often used in conjunction with PTFE tape or jointing compound.

Function: Ideal for directly connecting the 15mm plastic pipe to female-threaded outlets on heating and water appliances or manifold systems.

Enhanced Pushfit Technology: The 15mm side uses the advanced internal collet and O-ring mechanism to grip the plastic pipe and create a reliable, watertight seal instantly upon insertion.

Demountable: Both the push-fit connection (using a release tool) and the threaded connection are fully demountable, simplifying maintenance and future modifications.

Flame-Free: Installation requires no heat on the pipe side, offering a quick, safe, and clean method for bridging pipe and fixture connections.

The Installer's Advantage
The 15mm x 1/2" Polyplumb Taper Male Adaptor is a highly versatile termination fitting. It simplifies the connection to threaded parts, eliminating the need for complex joints or additional components. Its male taper thread is designed for maximum sealing security into female ports, providing a professional and long-lasting result.
