ECA Mini Ball Valve with PEX Ø16x2 mm End, Female Thread
ECA Mini Ball Valve (Integrated Ø16x2 mm PEX Pipe Connector - Internal Thread)
Made to ECA quality standards, this Mini Ball Valve is specially designed for underfloor heating systems and PEX-AL-PEX pipe installations. One side has an integrated PEX pipe connector with compression nut, allowing direct connection to the pipe without an additional PEX fitting.
Key Technical Features
Developed for maximum efficiency and sealing in tight spaces, the product's technical details are as follows:
-
Certification: The product is TSEK certified, meeting high quality and durability standards.
-
Connection Type: One end has a Ø16x2 mm PEX pipe connector, the other an internal (female) thread.
-
Ease of Use: The integrated pipe connector shortens installation time and, by reducing the number of joints, minimizes the risk of leaks.
-
Compact Design: Its small, ergonomic body can be used easily where space is limited, such as in manifold cabinets or under combi boilers.
-
Material Quality: The highly corrosion-resistant brass body has an attractive, durable nickel plating.
Advantages and Ease of Use
-
Fast, Secure Installation: The Ø16x2 mm PEX pipe is pushed directly onto the valve end and tightened, saving the installer a lot of labor.
-
Sealing: ECA's precision machining and quality seals provide a reliable seal at both low and high pressures.
-
Precise Flow Control: Despite its small handle, it shuts off and opens the flow instantly and does not seize even after long periods of non-use.
-
Attractive Design: Its stylish look blends in at exposed installation points.
Applications
-
Underfloor heating systems (manifold connections).
-
Radiator connections in PEX manifold systems.
-
Hot and cold water distribution lines.
-
All plumbing applications using PEX pipe.
Technical Note: During installation, make sure the PEX pipe is cut squarely and fully seated on the valve's pipe connector. Use suitable sealing materials (PTFE tape, hemp, etc.) on the internal thread side.
