FAQs

What material is the Made4Trade Hexagonal Nipple made from?

It is made from high-quality brass, known for its durability and corrosion resistance.

What size connections does this nipple support?

This nipple is designed for standard 1-inch plumbing connections.

How do I ensure a leak-free installation?

Proper installation involves cleaning threads, using appropriate pipe sealant or PTFE tape, and tightening securely with a wrench on the hexagonal flats.

Is this fitting suitable for hot water systems?

Yes, brass is suitable for use in both domestic and commercial heating and plumbing applications, including hot water systems.

Does this product meet any industry standards?

Yes, it is manufactured to EN1254 standards, which are European quality and safety standards for plumbing components.

Can I use this nipple with plastic pipes?

Compatibility depends on the specific plastic pipe fitting having a 1-inch thread that can be securely connected to a brass fitting.

How should I clean the hexagonal nipple?

For routine care, a soft, damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the brass finish.

Troubleshooting

Leak at connection point

Ensure pipe threads are clean and properly sealed with sealant or PTFE tape. Check that the nipple is tightened sufficiently but not overtightened, which can damage threads.

Difficulty threading onto pipe

Verify that you are using a 1-inch connection. Ensure there is no cross-threading and that both the pipe and fitting threads are clean and undamaged.

Fitting appears corroded

While brass is corrosion-resistant, extreme conditions or incompatible fluids could cause issues. Inspect the system for potential fluid compatibility problems. For minor surface oxidation, gentle polishing may be possible.
