Bronze Nipple SANHA 4243G GZ 15 mm x 3/8" – threaded pipe fitting

SANHA Bronze Nipple 4243G GZ 15 mm x 3/8" is a male-to-male threaded pipe fitting designed for joining metal and plastic plumbing components in potable water, heating and general plumbing systems. Manufactured from bronze, this nipple offers corrosion resistance and mechanical strength required for pressurised fluid circuits. The compact straight design provides a reliable threaded connection where a transition between a 15 mm press or tube dimension and a 3/8" threaded connection is needed.

Advantages

The bronze construction ensures long-term resistance to corrosion and maintains mechanical integrity under common water and heating system conditions. Threaded male ends offer easy assembly with compatible female-threaded fittings, valves or adapters without additional welding or soldering. The compact nipple simplifies repairs and modifications by providing a direct, space-efficient transition between metric and imperial threaded interfaces.

Suitable for

• Drinking water supply lines
• Heating circuits and radiators
• General plumbing repairs and retrofits
• Connections between metal and plastic components

Key specifications

• Material: bronze for corrosion resistance and durability
• Connection type: male-to-male threaded fitting
• Dimensions: one end 15 mm (nominal tube/press size), other end 3/8" male thread
• Application: suitable for potable water and heating systems
• Design: straight nipple for inline connections

How to use

Ensure both mating female threads and the nipple are clean and free of debris. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male thread following the sealant manufacturer's instructions to ensure a leak-free joint. Hand-start the nipple into the female thread, then tighten with appropriate wrenches until properly seated—avoid excessive torque to prevent damage to threads or fittings. Verify alignment and pressure-test the assembly according to system requirements before returning to service.

Usage recommendations

Use the bronze nipple in systems compatible with bronze and suitable for potable water or heating media. Select matching thread forms and sizes and follow local plumbing codes. For installations involving dissimilar metals, consider corrosion compatibility and use dielectric unions or appropriate isolation methods where required.
