The M22×1.5 nut with an integrated handle is an accessory component used in hose and connection joints where M22×1.5 is the connection standard. The built-in handle makes tightening/loosening easier in service conditions, and the design also works as an anti-kink/strain-relief at the hose connection, reducing mechanical stress and the risk of leaks.
MPN / reference: 13289
Thread: M22×1.5
Function: handle + anti-kink strain-relief
The nut is used in typical assembly and service work:
Consider replacing the nut when you notice:
Selection should be unambiguous:
With M22 accessories, multiple nut variants exist-same thread doesn’t guarantee the same clamping and sealing behavior.
Select the nut based on MPN 13289 and compatibility with the M22×1.5 connection in your specific Kränzle accessory setup. The anti-kink function is especially useful where the hose moves dynamically and is prone to bending near the joint.

What does the handle provide in day-to-day servicing?|It makes tightening and loosening easier without constantly using a wrench in tight spaces-useful when hoses/accessories are frequently removed.
How does the anti-kink strain-relief work, and does it really help?|It supports the hose right at the joint and reduces sharp bends/kinks. That lowers stress on the thread and seal, typically resulting in fewer leaks and longer hose-end life.
Does a leak on an M22 joint always mean the nut is the problem?|No. Often the seal/O-ring or the mating contact surface is the culprit. The nut mainly provides clamping force and alignment.
Can I replace this nut with a standard M22×1.5 nut without strain relief?|Sometimes mechanically yes, but you lose the hose strain-relief function. If the hose often pulls at an angle, lack of strain relief can accelerate wear and lead to more frequent leaks.
What should I check after installing a new handle nut?|Leak tightness under pressure, the condition of the seal in the joint, and that the hose routes freely without sharp bends near the connection. If the hose kinks right at the end, adjust hose routing or check the strain-relief seating.
