Male Brass Straight Compression Fitting Series 7000 PN16 | PE Compression Junction

The male brass straight compression fitting from the 7000 series is the essential junction element for connecting a polyethylene pipe (HDPE or LDPE) to any hydraulic component fitted with a female thread. Whether connecting a pump, valve or manifold, this straight fitting provides a robust and perfectly sealed transition. Designed to withstand a nominal pressure of 16 bar (PN16), it guarantees maximum safety for your water supply and pressurised fluid distribution installations.

The robustness of brass for industrial reliability

Unlike plastic fittings, the solid brass construction of the 7000 series provides exceptional mechanical resistance to torsion and traction stresses. Its metallic composition allows it to withstand harsh environments, thermal variations and impacts without risk of cracking. This fitting is particularly favoured by professionals for underground installations and pumping networks where the longevity of the installation is a non-negotiable criterion.

Mechanical compression clamping system

This male straight fitting uses an external compression clamping technology that eliminates the need for welding or gluing. Thanks to a specific gripping ring, the PE pipe is firmly held within the fitting body, offering pull-out resistance that exceeds current standards. Sealing is ensured by a high-quality O-ring that compensates for vibrations and expansions, guaranteeing a leak-free circuit from the very first use.

A simplified transition to threaded networks

Equipped with a standard male Gas (BSP) thread, this fitting instantly transforms a polyethylene pipe end into a screwable connection. This versatility is essential for integrating measuring devices (pressure gauges), filtration or regulation equipment onto main pipelines. Its quality finish and precise thread pitch facilitate assembly onto brass, cast iron or steel accessories, ensuring perfect compatibility with existing installations.

Professional installation tips

For an optimal connection, ensure the PE pipe is cut cleanly and chamfered. Insert the pipe up to the internal stop of the brass fitting before tightening the nut. For the male threaded end, the use of PTFE tape or hemp fibre with jointing compound is essential to ensure a watertight seal on the female support. Hand-tightening followed by a quarter turn with a wrench is generally sufficient to lock the assembly without damaging the threads.
