Straight Connector 16MM PEX ALU PEX Pipe

Product Information

Pipe fittings can be made in many different materials. Some materials are better for some functions than others: Stainless Steel – Often used for aesthetic reasons where plumbing is exposed. More corrosion resistant than copper but more rigid. Our press-fit fittings range includes connectors, reducers, tees, elbows, couplers & more from top brands such as IBP Conex >B<, Pegler and BESt. Iron – Malleable (ductile) iron is a good choice in industry because it is stronger than copper and plastic but it is rarely used in domestic installations. At BES, we offer a comprehensive range of refrigeration fittings, including tees, elbows, reducers, and end caps.

We pride ourselves on having everything covered when it comes to pipe fittings. Our full range includes: PEX – Cross-linked high-density polyethylene (PEX) is ductile and tough and works well in very low temperatures. When installing be aware that it can expand drastically and it needs to be shielded when used outdoors because it is susceptible to UV. If there's a copper or brass end feed capillary fitting you need, BES has it. Our unbeatable collection includes elbow fittings, tee joints, reducers, stop ends & more.Reducer - If a pipe needs to change diameter a reducer fixture connects the different sized ends together. Copper – can withstand very high temperatures. Always used for the final connections made to boilers/ furnaces for central heating. WRAS Approved– This pipe has been tested and certified with full UNITED KINGDOM ‘WRAS’ approval – a rigorous testing procedure which certificates only the highest quality products as fit for use in UK domestic water applications. The standard barbed fitting is used for connecting 16mm LDPE pipe together. The Fittings are made in the EU using UV stabilised plastic. The sharp barbs make sure that the Joint is reliable and once fitted they are rated to 6 bar unlike normal domestic barbed fittings that are rated to pressures between 2.1 and 2.8 bar. The reason for this superior performance is the and number of barbs and their shape. Once fitted they are almost impossible to remove and if a mistake is made in many cases they have to be cut off. This is because of the size and sharpness of the barb and this can only be made with precise tooling and technical expertise found in European factories. Using Barbed Fittings

Using Barbed Fittings

Elbow fittings are used to connect pipes at curved angles (such as 90 degree and 45 degree curves) depending on the model Pipe fittings help the flow of liquids or gas. They are used to connect systems of straight pieces of pipe and can change the direction of flow. Fittings can also assist flow through diameter changes between sections of piping. There are many different types of fittings and these can all be made out of different materials. Common Types of pipe fittings
