The cutting ring fitting for liquid gas systems on boats

Liquid gas systems on boats are an important element for the supply of gas. They have been standardized according to DIN EN ISO 10239 to meet the specific requirements. These systems must withstand extreme conditions, including corrosion, low and high temperatures and strong movements of the boat.

How the cutting ring fitting works

A key component in the liquid gas systems on boats is the cutting ring fitting. This fitting consists of a cutting ring and a union nut. The cutting ring fitting is used to connect copper pipes securely and tightly. The cutting ring cuts into the copper pipe and ensures a reliable seal.

The use of reinforcement sleeves

When installing cutting ring fittings with copper pipes, it is important to use reinforcement sleeves (310/928). These sleeves serve to reinforce the copper pipe and thus withstand the stresses to which it is exposed on a boat. The use of reinforcement sleeves improves the stability of the connection and increases the service life of the LPG system.

The use of reinforcement sleeves is an important step in the installation of cutting ring fittings with copper pipe in LPG systems on boats.

Conclusion

The cutting ring fitting is a crucial component in LPG systems on boats. It enables a reliable and tight connection of copper pipes. The use of reinforcement sleeves improves the stability of the connection and increases the service life of the LPG system. When installing the cutting ring fittings, make sure you use the right reinforcement sleeves to ensure that the LPG system functions safely and efficiently.
