Male Elbow 22mm - 3/4"

The EXF9-L22x3/4M Press Fitting is a high-quality plumbing fitting designed to connect 22mm pipes to 3/4-inch male-threaded components using press-fit technology. This fitting is used in systems where a reliable, leak-proof connection is required between pipes of a certain diameter and male-threaded components such as valves, taps, radiators, or other plumbing and heating system components.

Key Features and Description:

1. Material:

   • The EXF9-L22x3/4M press fitting is typically made from high-quality brass, stainless steel, or a similar corrosion-resistant metal, ensuring that it is durable and suitable for use in plumbing, heating, and water systems.
   • Brass and other metal materials are chosen for their strength, resistance to corrosion, and ability to withstand the high temperatures and pressures commonly found in plumbing systems.

2. Size and Configuration:

   • L22 refers to the 22mm pipe connection on one side of the fitting. This side is designed to connect to a 22mm diameter pipe, which is a standard size used in plumbing systems for water supply, central heating, and underfloor heating systems.
   • 3/4M refers to the 3/4-inch male-threaded connection on the other side of the fitting. This threaded end is designed to connect to any compatible 3/4-inch female-threaded component, such as a valve, manifold, pump, or other plumbing or heating fixtures.
   • The press-fit technology enables the fitting to be installed quickly and securely without the need for soldering, heat, or additional sealing materials.

3. Press-Fit Technology:

   • Press-fit technology is the key feature of the EXF9-L22x3/4M fitting. Using a press tool, the fitting is pressed onto the 22mm copper pipe or multilayer pipe, creating a strong, leak-proof seal without the need for traditional soldering or threading methods.
   • The press-fit system is known for its speed, efficiency, and cleanliness. Once the fitting is pressed, it forms a permanent connection that can withstand high pressures and temperatures, providing a secure, long-lasting bond.
   • There is no need for heat, open flames, flux, or soldering, making it safer and quicker to install than traditional methods.

4. Applications:

   • The EXF9-L22x3/4M Press Fitting is ideal for connecting 22mm pipes to 3/4-inch male-threaded components, which is common in many residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing and heating systems.
   • Underfloor Heating (UFH): Connecting 22mm pipes to male-threaded components such as manifolds or valves.
   • Central Heating Systems: Used to connect 22mm pipes to 3/4-inch male-threaded radiator valves, thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), or other components.
   • Domestic Plumbing: Connecting 22mm water supply pipes to male-threaded fixtures like faucets, pumps, and connectors.
   • Commercial Plumbing: Used in larger systems where different pipe sizes and threaded connections are necessary to connect components such as pumps, tanks, and valves.

5. Advantages:

   • Quick and Reliable Installation: The press-fit system allows for faster installation compared to traditional methods like soldering, saving both time and effort, particularly in tight or confined spaces.
   • Leak-Proof Seal: Once the fitting is pressed onto the pipe, it forms a tight, leak-proof connection that ensures long-term performance and reduces the risk of leaks or failures in the system.
   • No Heat Required: The press-fit system eliminates the need for heat, which reduces installation risks (such as fire hazards) and is more efficient compared to soldering or welding.
   • Corrosion Resistance: Made from brass or other corrosion-resistant metals, the fitting will perform well over time, even in aggressive water conditions or heating systems with high temperatures.
   • Safer Installation: Because there is no need for open flames or heat, the installation process is safer and cleaner than traditional soldering methods.

6. Compatibility:

   • The EXF9-L22x3/4M press fitting is designed to be compatible with 22mm copper pipes or multilayer pipes and 3/4-inch male-threaded components.
   • The fitting is compatible with a variety of press tools, making it easy to use for professional installers or DIY plumbers. The press-fit system is designed to work with standard press tools that can be used with copper, PEX, and multilayer pipes.
