IBP Brass Nipple GZ 22x1/2, plumbing fitting – IBP 4243G022004000

Brass nipple IBP GZ 22x1/2 is a plumbing fitting designed to connect a 22 mm pipe to a 1/2" threaded component. Manufactured from brass, the nipple offers corrosion resistance and mechanical strength suitable for potable water, heating systems and general domestic plumbing connections. The fitting features male threaded ends to provide a secure transition between metric pipe dimensions and imperial threaded fixtures.

Advantages

The brass construction ensures durability and resistance to corrosion in typical household and mechanical environments. The GZ male threads provide reliable sealing when combined with appropriate thread sealant or tape. Compact dimensions and straightforward geometry make the fitting easy to install in confined spaces and compatible with common plumbing components used in water and heating systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting 22 mm copper or plastic pipework to 1/2" threaded valves and fittings
• Domestic potable water installations
• Central heating and radiator connections
• General repair and maintenance of plumbing systems

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Thread type: male G (parallel) thread on both ends
• Connection sizes: 22 mm to 1/2"
• Typical applications: potable water, heating, domestic plumbing
• Surface finish: machined brass

How to use

Ensure mating threads and pipe ends are clean and free of debris before assembly. Apply suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads if a leak-tight joint is required. Hand-start the fitting to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with an appropriate wrench until the joint is secure; avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to threads or fittings. Where used with compression or soldered connections on the 22 mm side, follow the specific instructions for those connection types to achieve a reliable seal.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate thread sealants compatible with potable water when installing in drinking water systems. Verify compatibility of connected materials (copper, plastic, or fittings) and ensure the system is depressurised before making connections or repairs.
