TDM Brass 116P401 Inner Sleeve 1 1/4" x 1"

The TDM Brass 116P401 Inner Sleeve is a precision-engineered plumbing component designed to facilitate a secure transition between pipes of different sizes. This fitting serves as a reliable adapter for plumbing and heating systems, allowing for a seamless reduction from a 1 1/4 inch internal thread connection to a 1 inch male thread connection. Crafted from high-quality brass, this component is built to withstand the rigors of daily operation while maintaining structural integrity in various environmental conditions.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this brass inner sleeve is its robust material composition, which provides exceptional resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear. Its precise threading ensures a tight, leak-proof seal, which is essential for maintaining the pressure and efficiency of plumbing and heating networks. The compact design allows for installation in tight spaces where larger fittings might be impractical, and the high-quality brass construction ensures long-term durability and reliability in both residential and commercial applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting pipes with different diameters in plumbing systems
• Adapting heating system components
• Professional installation of water supply networks
• Industrial and domestic fluid transport lines

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use in systems where the operating temperature exceeds 120°C or drops below -20°C, as these extremes may compromise the integrity of the brass material or the sealing interface. It is also not suitable for applications involving highly aggressive chemical substances that could cause dezincification or rapid corrosion of the brass alloy.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Connection 1: 1 1/4 inch internal thread
• Connection 2: 1 inch male thread
• Operating temperature range: -20°C to +120°C

How to use

To install the TDM Brass 116P401, ensure that the pipe ends are clean, free of debris, and properly cut. Apply a suitable thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or specialized plumbing paste, to the male threads to ensure a watertight connection. Carefully thread the sleeve into the corresponding female fitting and tighten it using an appropriate wrench. Avoid overtightening, as this can damage the threads or the fitting itself. Once installed, pressurize the system slowly to check for any signs of leaks before full operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread types and sizes of your existing pipes
• Ensure the operating temperature of your system falls within the specified range
• Check for compatibility with other materials in your plumbing system to prevent galvanic corrosion

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for signs of moisture or corrosion during routine maintenance checks to ensure the continued safety and efficiency of your plumbing system.
