AW Pax +pat+ Adapter: Single-Hole (Mono-trou) Fittings

Reference: A69350-001-008 | Finish: Chromeline | SSIGE Certified & SIA 181 Compliant

The AW Pax adapter is a high-precision patented mini cartridge developed by AW AG engineers to solve hydraulic malfunctions directly at the connection points. This compact module is mounted on angle valves, providing a discreet and aesthetically neutral alternative to traditional, bulky solutions.

Acoustic Expertise & SIA 181 Standard

Noise control is at the heart of the AW Pax design. This module is essential for meeting the "increased requirements according to SIA 181" (Sound insulation in building construction), which is mandatory for modern housing in Switzerland.

• Specific Acoustic Performance: SSIGE laboratory measurements (ISO 3822) show that a sink mixer with a swivel spout, initially measured at 35.4 dB(A), drops to 20.8 dB(A) when equipped with the Pax adapter.
• Certified Reduction: Reduces flow noise by up to 5 dB(A), allowing the installation to achieve Noise Group I (≤ 20 dB) performance even with standard fittings.
• Residential Comfort: Ensures compliance with the 25 dB(A) thresholds required in high-standard collective housing.

System Safety & Mechanical Protection

AW Pax acts as an active shield for the entire sanitary network, absorbing kinetic energy before it propagates through the pipes.

• Surge Pressure Control: Absorbs and reduces pressure surges by up to 25 bar. Without protection, quick-closing valves can generate peaks exceeding 30 bar.
• Equipment Longevity: Protects against fatigue failure, water damage, and irreversible damage to ceramic cartridges and appliances like washing machines.

Technical Specifications

Designed for invisible integration under the sink or washbasin:

• Application: Specifically designed for single-hole fittings (washbasin, sink).
• Connection: 3/8" x 3/8" with compression/squeeze fitting for Ø 10 mm tubes.
• Operating Conditions: Nominal pressure PN 10 bar, max operating pressure 5 bar, and temperature resistance up to 80°C.
• Expert Recommendation: For full effectiveness on a mixer, the modules must be installed in pairs (one unit for hot water, one for cold water).

Technical Note: This compact device is the result of Swiss engineering, guaranteeing increased durability for the entire sanitary installation.
