IBP brass nipple 22 x 1, model 4243G022008000, plumbing fitting

IBP brass nipple 22 x 1 is a short threaded plumbing fitting made from brass for use in water and heating systems. The connector provides a compact, male-to-male threaded link designed to join two threaded pipes or components with a 22 mm diameter and 1 mm thread pitch. Constructed to resist corrosion and wear in typical residential and commercial installations, this brass nipple is intended for straightforward connection tasks where a reliable metal-to-metal thread is required.

Advantages

The brass construction offers good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength compared with many non-metallic alternatives. Its compact form and standardized 22 x 1 thread make installation and replacement straightforward when working with compatible threaded fittings. The metal-to-metal thread provides a durable joint suitable for pressurized water and heating circuits when combined with proper sealing materials such as PTFE tape or approved sealants.

Suitable for

• Connecting threaded copper, steel or brass pipes in domestic plumbing
• Joining components in heating systems, including radiators and boiler connections
• Short extensions or repairs where a male-to-male threaded adapter is needed
• Commercial plumbing applications requiring a compact brass connector

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Thread size: 22 x 1 (male threads both ends)
• Application: water and heating systems
• Connection type: threaded, metal-to-metal
• Typical resistance: corrosion-resistant under normal potable water and heating conditions

How to use

Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris. Apply an appropriate thread sealant such as PTFE tape or a compatible pipe thread sealant to the male threads, wrapping the tape in the direction of the thread to avoid unwrapping during installation. Hand-start the nipple into the first fitting to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with a suitable wrench until snug; avoid excessive torque that can deform threads or fittings. Connect the opposite threaded component in the same manner. After assembly, pressurize the system and inspect all joints for leaks, re-tightening if necessary following manufacturer torque guidance for the mating fittings.

Usage recommendations

Use PTFE tape or an approved pipe sealant for water and heating applications; when working with different metals, verify compatibility to avoid galvanic corrosion and follow local plumbing codes for installation and pressure testing.
