The SharkBite PRESS Connection with Female Thread is used to join a male thread.

It is made from PPSU (polyphenylsulfone, a high performance technopolymer plastic) and its thread is a CW617N brass insert. The thread is type BSP, according to norms ISO 228-1.

The design integrates perfectly in the body of PPSU avoiding the displacement of the insert.

It has a special conical sealing gasket made from EPDM peroxide 70, which guarantees the tightness inside the tube. The bushing is made from AISI 304 stainless steel, which guarantees lifelong durability.

It is a safe fitting for hygienic applications and does not contain harmful substances. It is suitable for drinking water installations and for heating installations. The chemical resistance to building materials allows the female fitting to be embedded in walls and floors without the need for protection.

The connection with female thread is joined to the pipeline by a radial compression tightening tool. It is compatible with the three most common types of tightening on the market, U, RF and TH. It has an optimal size for embedded installations in low thickness partitions and, in addition, total compatibility with PEXa, PERT, PERT EVOH, PEXa EVOH and Multilayer pipes with Aluminium in ø 16, 20, 25 and 26mm.

The connections with female thread are manufactured under ISO / 21003, ISO / 15875 and ISO / 22391, tested and approved for use at temperature and maximum working pressure of 95ºC to 10 bar.
