Conex transitional nipple B PRESS GAZ GZ 18x3/4" copper-bronze PG4243G0180600

Conex transitional nipple B PRESS GAZ GZ 18x3/4" copper-bronze provides a durable connection between an 18 mm press-fit copper gas pipe and a 3/4" threaded bronze fitting. Manufactured for gas installations, the fitting combines a press-compatible copper end with a threaded bronze end to ensure a secure transition where different connection methods are required. The component is suitable for use in professional plumbing and gas service applications that demand reliable materials and tight seals under typical gas service conditions.

Advantages

The copper-bronze construction balances corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, with the copper press end designed for reliable, tool-assisted press joints and the bronze threaded end offering robust screw-in performance. The design simplifies the changeover between press-fit systems and traditional threaded components, reducing assembly time and minimizing potential leak points when installed correctly by qualified personnel.

Suitable for

• Joining 18 mm press-fit copper gas pipe to 3/4" threaded bronze fittings
• Residential and commercial gas distribution systems
• Service and repair work in plumbing and gas installations
• Transitions between modern press-fit installations and existing threaded pipework

Key specifications

• Material: copper press end and bronze threaded end
• Press-fit connection size: 18 mm
• Threaded connection size: 3/4" (female/male as required by installation)
• Application: designed for gas installations
• Compatibility: intended for use with press-fit copper gas piping and standard 3/4" gas-thread fittings

How to use

Ensure the gas supply is shut off and the system is depressurized before beginning work. Prepare and deburr the copper pipe to the required insertion depth for the 18 mm press end. Insert the pipe fully into the press end and complete the press operation using the appropriate press tool and jaw size for 18 mm copper; follow the press tool manufacturer's instructions. Apply suitable thread sealing or tape to the threaded bronze end if required by local gas installation codes, then tighten the threaded connection to the specified torque with appropriate tools. After assembly, perform a pressure and leak test according to applicable regulations.

Usage recommendations

Use this transitional nipple only in gas installations and install it in accordance with local codes and standards. Installation should be performed by qualified professionals familiar with press-fit and threaded gas connections. Do not use the fitting for applications other than gas without verifying material compatibility and certification.
