GF+ Aquasystem PP-R Female Threaded Adapter (Round)
GF+ Aquasystem PP-R Female Threaded Adapter (Round) — A straight transition fitting with one end welded to the pipe and a nickel-plated brass female thread on the other. It connects in a straight line to male-threaded valves, unions and fixtures.
Applications
- Male-threaded valve and fitting connections
- Meter and filter connections
- Transition from threaded installations to PP-R
Key features
- Nickel-plated brass female thread (BSPP-G)
- Round body, straight transition
- PN25 pressure rating

Socket fusion welding times
| Pipe diameter | Welding depth (mm) | Heating (s) | Joining time (s) | Cooling (min) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ø20 | 14 | 5 | 4 | 2 |
| Ø25 | 15 | 7 | 4 | 2 |
| Ø32 | 16.5 | 8 | 6 | 4 |
Values per DVS 2207-11 at +20 °C ambient and 260 °C heating tool temperature. Below +5 °C, extend the heating time by about 50%. Heating time starts when pipe and fitting are fully seated on the heating dies; during the joining time the parts may be aligned axially without twisting.
Installation tips
- Cut the pipe square with a pipe cutter and mark the welding depth on the pipe.
- Push pipe and fitting onto the heating dies at the same time without twisting; when the heating time is over, join them quickly and axially.
- Do not twist the parts after the joining time; do not pressurize the line before the cooling time has passed.
- When tightening a threaded joint, hold the brass part with a wrench; do not apply torque to the PP-R body. Use hemp or sealing tape on the thread.
- Pressure-test the installation before closing walls or screed.
Frequently asked questions
Can it be connected to an old galvanized installation?
Yes; this fitting can be used to transition onto the male thread of a galvanized pipe. Use hemp or tape to seal the thread.
