This Connect Push-Fit Stem Adapter set is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing to reliably connect 22mm OD tubing to a 3/4 BSPP threaded fitting. Its key benefit is a secure, leak-free push-fit connection for air ring main fittings. A potential caveat is ensuring the 22mm OD tubing is compatible with push-fit system requirements. This 5-piece set offers a durable solution manufactured to high industry standards, simplifying pneumatic and fluid system assemblies.

OD stands for Outer Diameter. This means the adapter is designed for tubing that has an outside diameter of exactly 22 millimeters.
BSPP stands for British Standard Pipe Parallel. It is a type of parallel pipe thread used widely in plumbing and industrial applications. The '3/4' indicates the nominal size of the thread.
The adapter is manufactured to standards suitable for air ring main fittings. For specific pressure ratings, consult the product documentation or manufacturer for operational limits, but it is generally designed for robust industrial use.
To disconnect, you typically need to push the release collar (often a colored ring) inwards towards the adapter body while simultaneously pulling the tubing out. Some systems may require a specific disconnect tool.
While NSF-61 certification suggests suitability for potable water, its compatibility with specific chemicals should be verified. Consult the manufacturer's chemical resistance chart or test in a non-critical application if unsure.
For the push-fit connection, no special tools are typically required, though a disconnect tool can be helpful. For the threaded connection, a wrench or appropriate plumbing tool may be needed.
ISO 9001:2008 indicates a quality management system during manufacturing. ANSI/NSF-61 ensures the product is safe for use in contact with drinking water, contributing to public health protection.
Ensure the 22mm OD tubing is cut cleanly and squarely. Check for debris or damage at the tube end and inside the adapter's push-fit port. Verify the tubing is inserted fully.
Confirm you are using the correct 22mm OD tubing. Ensure the tubing end is not deformed. For removal, use a proper disconnect tool if required, or gently twist and pull while pushing the release collar.
Check the integrity of the mating BSPP thread. Ensure any required sealing tape or compound is used correctly on the male thread if applicable to the mating component. Verify the adapter is not cross-threaded.
Inspect the adapter for visible damage. If damaged, replace the unit immediately. This may indicate over-tightening or exposure to incompatible chemicals or excessive temperatures.
Setup: Ensure the end of the 22mm OD tubing is cut squarely and is free of burrs or debris. Insert the tubing firmly into the push-fit end of the adapter until it seats fully. The internal O-ring and gripping mechanism will secure the tube. For the threaded end, screw the 3/4 BSPP connection into the desired port using appropriate tools, ensuring a snug fit. Avoid overtightening.
Compatibility: This adapter is specifically designed for 22mm Outer Diameter (OD) tubing. The threaded end is compatible with any fitting accepting a 3/4 BSPP male thread. It is certified for air ring main fittings and meets ANSI/NSF-61 standards, indicating suitability for potable water systems. Always confirm the compatibility of your specific tubing material with push-fit connections.
Care: Regularly inspect the connection points for any signs of damage or leakage. Clean the exterior of the adapter with a damp cloth if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the plastic components or seals. Ensure the system is depressurized before attempting any maintenance or disassembly.
