Brass transitional nipple TECE 32 mm x 1" (model 705509)

TECE brass transitional nipple 32 mm x 1" (model 705509) is a precision plumbing fitting designed to connect 32 mm metric pipes to 1-inch threaded fittings. Manufactured from brass, the nipple provides corrosion resistance and mechanical strength required for water supply and heating installations. Its compact form and standard thread interface enable straightforward integration with both copper, plastic and mixed-material piping systems where a reliable metric-to-imperial transition is needed.

Advantages

The brass construction offers durability and resistance to scale and corrosion under typical potable water and heating system conditions. The transitional geometry ensures a secure threaded connection combined with a smooth insertion for 32 mm pipes, reducing the risk of leaks when installed correctly. The component is compatible with common plumbing materials and designed for professional and DIY installation where a robust metric-to-imperial adapter is required.

Suitable for

• Connecting 32 mm metric water or heating pipes to 1" threaded valves and fittings
• Repairs and modifications in residential potable water systems
• Commercial building plumbing and hydronic heating connections
• Retrofit projects where mixed standard fittings are present

Key specifications

• Material: brass for corrosion resistance and mechanical strength
• Connection A: 32 mm metric end suitable for insertion or compression-style joins
• Connection B: 1" external threaded end compatible with standard 1" fittings
• Application: potable water distribution and heating systems
• Operating environment: indoor plumbing and heating installations

How to use

Prepare pipe ends according to the piping system type: cut square, deburr and clean the 32 mm pipe before insertion or compression fitting. Apply appropriate sealing method to the 1" thread—such as PTFE tape or approved pipe dope—consistent with local codes and the materials in use. Hand-tighten the threaded connection and then use a wrench to complete the final turn as required by the fitting manufacturer or installation practice to achieve a leak-free joint. Verify alignment and support to avoid stress on the connection during system operation.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the brass nipple prior to installation for visible damage or contamination. Use compatible sealing materials and follow local regulations for potable water systems. After assembly, perform pressure and leak tests according to standard plumbing procedures and provide adequate mechanical support to connected pipes to prevent strain on the transitional connection.
