Straight Connector 16MM PEX ALU PEX Pipe

Product Information

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? Bulkhead adapters that can connect tubing or piping of different sizes and configurations through a panel 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.

Copper – can withstand very high temperatures. Always used for the final connections made to boilers/ furnaces for central heating. 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.

What pipe accessories are available?

Reducer - If a pipe needs to change diameter a reducer fixture connects the different sized ends together. If there's a copper or brass end feed capillary fitting you need, BES has it. Our unbeatable collection includes elbow fittings, tee joints, reducers, stop ends & more. Stainless Steel – Often used for aesthetic reasons where plumbing is exposed. More corrosion resistant than copper but more rigid. WRAS Approved– This pipe has been tested and certified with full UNITED KINGDOM ‘WRAS’ approval – a rigorous testing procedure which certificates only the highest quality products as fit for use in UK domestic water applications.

Stainless steel pipe fittings are used to connect steel pipes. Tapered threads are cut into the end of the pipe, sealant is applied in the form of thread-sealing compound or thread seal tape (which is also known as PTFE or Teflon tape), and a pipe wrench is used to thread the pipe into a threaded fitting. Stainless steel fittings benefit from the metals strength, resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning. What are stainless steel pipe fittings used for? 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. 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.

Elbow fittings are used to connect pipes at curved angles (such as 90 degree and 45 degree curves) depending on the model

Our press-fit fittings range includes connectors, reducers, tees, elbows, couplers & more from top brands such as IBP Conex >B<, Pegler and BESt. Pipe fittings can be made in many different materials. Some materials are better for some functions than others: Solder fittings, also known as capillary fittings, are short sections of smooth pipe designed to slide over the outside of the mating tube. Solder wire is fed then around the edge of the fitting and heated to seal it. Stainless steel solder fittings benefit from the metals strength, resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning. 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.
