Grant Solar 15mm Connector Flex Pipe Compression Fitting (DN16) (2pc)

The Grant Solar 15mm Connector Flex Pipe Compression Fitting (DN16) is a high-performance component designed specifically for use in solar thermal water heating systems. Whether you're installing a new system or maintaining an existing one, this pair of fittings provides a safe, secure, and leak-resistant connection between flexible solar pipes. Built to handle the demands of high-pressure and high-temperature environments typical of solar thermal setups, these compression fittings ensure your system performs efficiently and reliably over time. Designed for 15mm flexible pipes (DN16), they’re compatible with standard solar pipe sizes used in residential and light commercial installations. The fittings use a compression mechanism—simply insert the pipe and tighten the nut to form a tight seal. No special tools or soldering required, which means a quicker, cleaner installation. The two-piece design makes them easy to assemble and just as simple to remove, which is especially helpful during routine maintenance or part replacements. These fittings are made from robust, heat-resistant materials that can endure the tough conditions associated with solar thermal systems, offering both durability and peace of mind. Their flexible compatibility makes them ideal for a wide range of layouts, helping installers create efficient and adaptable systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this fitting used for in a solar thermal system?

This fitting connects flexible solar pipes to other system components, such as pumps, cylinders, or control units. It ensures a tight, leak-free joint that can withstand the high pressures and temperatures generated by solar heating systems.

Do I need any special tools to install this fitting?

No, the compression design means you only need standard spanners to tighten the nuts. There's no need for soldering, adhesives, or specialist solar tools, making installation fast and straightforward.

Is it suitable for all solar thermal systems?

These fittings are designed specifically for DN16 (15mm) flexible solar pipes, which are widely used in many domestic systems. However, always check compatibility with your specific solar kit or consult your installer to ensure a proper fit.
