Gas fitting IBP press connector nipple GZ 22 x 1/2, brand IBP, pack of 100

IBP press connector nipple GZ 22 x 1/2 is a gas-rated fitting designed for use in press-fit gas piping systems. Supplied in a pack of 100, this connector provides a 22 mm press end that transitions to a threaded GZ 1/2 connection, enabling installation between press-compatible copper or stainless steel pipes and threaded gas appliances or valves. The fitting is manufactured to meet requirements for gas distribution and is intended for installation by trained professionals using compatible press tools and gas-approved press jaws.

Advantages

The IBP press gas nipple ensures consistent, leak-resistant connections when installed with the correct press tooling. Its press end offers rapid assembly compared with traditional soldering or threaded joining, reducing installation time on gas lines. The threaded GZ 1/2 outlet provides a standard interface for gas appliances and valves, while the supply in a bulk pack of 100 supports large projects and reduces the need for frequent reordering.

Suitable for

• Professional gas distribution and service lines
• Connecting press-fit piping to threaded gas appliances or shut-off valves
• Installation in residential and light commercial gas systems where press fittings are specified

Key specifications

• Press connection size: 22 mm press end
• Threaded connection: GZ 1/2 (male thread)
• Application: gas-rated press fitting for gas distribution systems
• Packaging: bulk pack of 100 pieces

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by cutting square and deburring according to the press system manufacturer's instructions. Slide the appropriate gas-rated press sleeve or ensure the fitting's press geometry matches the approved press jaw. Position the 22 mm press end fully onto the pipe, align the fitting, and actuate the approved press tool to form the permanent joint. Screw the GZ 1/2 threaded end to the appliance or valve using proper thread sealant or tape as specified for gas connections. After installation, perform pressure testing and leak detection in accordance with local gas regulations and standards.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools, jaws, and consumables that are approved for gas applications and compatible with the 22 mm press geometry. Installations should be carried out by qualified personnel and verified by pressure and leak testing per applicable codes. Store fittings in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination before installation.
