Detailed description
Detailed description
The Whale Quick-Connect male tap adapter 1/2 inch (WX1515) is a plumbing component designed for marine and recreational vehicle systems. It provides a secure connection between a 1/2 inch threaded male fitting and a Whale 15 mm (9/16 inch) plastic tube.
Design and materials
Made of brass and polyethylene, this adapter is designed for use in mobile environments. It features a 1/2 inch NPT or BSP male thread and a Quick-Connect end for 15 mm tubing. It is compatible exclusively with Whale plastic tubes and the brand’s grooved stems. The design includes a one-piece molded construction for enhanced structural integrity.
Technical specifications
The Whale WX1515 adapter supports a maximum pressure of 12 bar (174 psi) for cold water (up to 20°C) and 6 bar (87 psi) for hot water (up to 65°C). A dual grip system ensures the tube remains secure over time, even under high pressure. The "cage collet" design eliminates leaks, particularly near tight bends. An internal support ring maintains the integrity of the O-ring, preventing distortion and pressure leaks. The integrated outer sleeve acts as a collet cover, preventing accidental disengagement of the piping.
Installation and maintenance
The Quick-Connect system allows for two-step installation without special tools, reducing installation time and cost. Components are reusable, offering flexibility for system modifications. Compatible tubes are marked with cut guides for installation. Whale Quick-Connect fittings and WhaleX piping are covered by a 10-year warranty (excluding WX1599).
