Description
Firstly brass tail pieces for water meter sizes 50mm are essential plumbing connectors used to link a water meter to the main pipeline. They act as threaded adaptors that convert a water meter’s specific, flat-faced coupling ends into standard pipe threads, creating a secure, watertight, and easily removable joint.
How They Work:
- The Tail Piece (Lining): A short metal with a flat flanged end on one side that sits flush against the water meter, and a standard threaded end on the other to connect to the main plumbing.
- The Cap Nut: A threaded collar that slides over the tail piece. It screws directly onto the meter’s threaded outlet, pulling the tail piece tight against the meter.
- The Washer: A rubber placed between the tail piece and the meter to create a leak-proof seal.
Key Specifications & Features
- Material: Manufactured from high-grade, durable brass. This ensures high mechanical strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and longevity when exposed to constant moisture.
- Thread Types: The internal thread of the nut is designed to match standard meter threads. While the pipe end features standard threads for universal compatibility.
