IBP Półśrubunek 1 NEW WW is a half-union designed for 1" threaded pipe connections used in heating, water and sanitary installations. The product functions as a removable mechanical coupling that enables disassembly of threaded lines for maintenance, replacement or inspection without cutting pipes. Its compact design supports installation in confined spaces and provides a reliable threaded joint for metal or compatible threaded plastic pipes.
Advantages
The half-union offers a straightforward threaded connection that simplifies servicing of pipelines and fixtures. Its construction ensures a stable mechanical joint while allowing quick removal and reassembly during repairs. The product is suitable for repeated use in maintenance operations and reduces downtime by avoiding permanent fittings or pipe cutting.
Suitable for
- Joining or disconnecting 1" threaded heating system pipes
- Service access points in water supply and sanitary installations
- Situations that require removable threaded connections for repair or replacement
- Confined or compact installation spaces where a small, removable coupling is needed
When it may not be suitable
This half-union is intended specifically for 1" threaded connections; it is not suitable for non-threaded or push-fit pipe systems. It may not be appropriate where a permanent, welded or glued joint is required for pressure or regulatory reasons. Compatibility should be checked for dissimilar materials to avoid galvanic corrosion without appropriate seals or isolation.
Key specifications
- Connection size: 1" (threaded)
- Type: half-union (half coupling) for removable threaded joints
- Application: heating, water supply and sanitary installations
- Design: compact form suitable for tight installation spaces
How to use
Install the half-union on the threaded end of the pipe or fitting by hand-threading until snug, then tighten with an appropriate wrench to the recommended torque for the pipe material and thread standard. Use suitable sealing material on threads where required (for example, PTFE tape or approved pipe joint compounds) according to local plumbing practice. To service the line, loosen the union nut and separate the threaded halves to access or remove the connected component, then reassemble and retighten following the same procedure.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm pipe thread standard and compatibility with 1" threaded fittings
- Check material compatibility with existing piping to prevent corrosion
- Verify space available for installation and future removal
- Ensure suitability for the system pressure and local plumbing regulations
Usage recommendations
Use appropriate thread sealing and follow torque guidelines for the pipe material. Inspect sealing surfaces and threads for damage during each service cycle and replace the half-union if wear or deformation is detected to maintain leak-free performance.
