Installation & Accessories

Choose the right installation & accessories for your pipe and plumbing projects

When it comes to plumbing work, precision and the right materials are absolutely crucial for a safe and long-term result. Small details such as sealant or the right type of clamp make a big difference to the entire lifespan of the installation. Here we have collected practical advice and tips to help you choose the right accessories for your project.

Important products and their uses

• Thread sealant & Lin: Used to create completely tight connections in threaded pipe connections. Classic linen together with lubricating paste provides a flexible seal that can be readjusted, while thread tape (PTFE) is a clean and quick alternative for smaller dimensional connections.
• Gaskets & Lubricants: Graphite and fiber gaskets ensure a tight joint in connections and flanges. Armature grease and silicone lubricate pipe fittings, facilitate assembly and protect rubber gaskets from drying out.
• Pipe brackets & Clamps: To prevent vibrations and stress on the pipe system, stable suspension is required. Choose clamps adapted to the pipe diameter and mounting surface.
• Frost protection: For spaces or pipelines that are at risk of being exposed to cold, frost protection thermostats and heating cables help prevent freezing and pipe breakage.

Things to consider before buying

• Match size and dimension: Always check that pipe brackets, sleeves and gaskets have exactly the same millimeter or thread dimension as your pipes.
• Choose the right sealing method: For water and heating systems, products are required that can withstand the intended pressure and temperature. Check what type of media (e.g. hot or cold water) the connection will be used for.
• Invest in quality: Saving on installation accessories can be costly in the event of a leak. High-quality components provide security for many years to come.
