GF+ Aquasystem PP-R Male Threaded Adapter (Hexagon)
GF+ Aquasystem PP-R Male Threaded Adapter (Hexagon) — An adapter with a hexagon brass body that provides the transition from PP-R pipe to male-threaded equipment on large-diameter lines. The hexagon wrench flats allow secure tightening at high torque.
Applications
- Valve, pump and manifold connections on risers and main lines
- Boiler room and plant room connections
- Large-diameter threaded equipment inlets
Key features
- Nickel-plated brass hexagon male thread (BSPP-G)
- Secure tightening with a wrench
- Ø32 – Ø110 mm, PN25

Socket fusion welding times
| Pipe diameter | Welding depth (mm) | Heating (s) | Joining time (s) | Cooling (min) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ø32 | 16.5 | 8 | 6 | 4 |
| Ø40 | 18 | 12 | 6 | 4 |
| Ø50 | 20 | 18 | 6 | 4 |
| Ø63 | 24 | 24 | 8 | 6 |
| Ø75 | 26 | 30 | 8 | 8 |
| Ø90 | 29 | 40 | 8 | 8 |
| Ø110 | 32.5 | 50 | 10 | 8 |
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
Why hexagon?
Larger threads require higher tightening torque; the hexagon surface lets the wrench grip without slipping.
