Is the Brass Straight Fitting with BSP Male Thread, Type AI 13485 compatible with plastic pipes like polyamide and what are its temperature limits?

Yes. The Brass Straight Fitting with BSP Male Thread, Type AI 13485 is compatible with plastic pipes, including polyamide, and fits external pipe diameters from 4 to 22 mm. It is made of brass with an NBR gasket and is rated for temperatures from −20 °C to +80 °C.

Can the Brass Straight Fitting with BSP Male Thread, Type AI 13485 be used with steel or aluminum pipes, and are there any installation precautions for these materials?

Yes. The Brass Straight Fitting with BSP Male Thread, Type AI 13485 can be used with steel and aluminum pipes. It is designed for use with copper, brass, steel, aluminum and certain plastics, accommodating external pipe diameters 4–22 mm. Sealing is achieved by compressing the ring onto the pipe while the nut presses the ring into the socket, producing a durable, leak‑proof joint. Installation precautions for steel and aluminum: - Ensure pipe ends are clean, deburred and free of scale, rust or oxidation to allow proper ring compression and gasket seating. - For aluminum, remove any soft oxide layer and avoid excessive deformation during tightening to prevent cracking; tighten to recommended torque to compress the ring without overstressing the pipe. - For steel, check for hard burrs and apply appropriate surface preparation if necessary. - Verify material compatibility with the NBR gasket and operating temperature range (‑20°C to +80°C). - Use the correct ring for pipe material if specified by supplier (some systems recommend different rings for soft vs. hard materials). - Follow EN 1254‑2 compliant installation practices and recommended tightening torques to ensure long‑lasting tightness and corrosion resistance. Following these precautions will ensure reliable, long‑lasting connections with steel and aluminum pipes.
