The Avonplast CPVC 1-1/2″ Tank Nipple is a type of plumbing fitting used to connect CPVC pipes to a tank or other equipment. Here’s an overview of its features and functions:

1. Material: Made from CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride), a thermoplastic known for its excellent corrosion resistance and ability to withstand high temperatures. CPVC is commonly used in hot and cold water distribution systems.
2. Size: The tank nipple has a nominal size of 1-1/2 inches, which refers to the diameter of the pipe it is designed to connect. This size matches standard CPVC pipe sizes for compatibility.
3. Design: The tank nipple typically consists of two male-threaded ends, allowing it to be screwed into female-threaded openings on tanks, valves, or other plumbing components. The threads are precision-cut to ensure a tight and leak-proof connection.
4. Function: The primary function of the tank nipple is to provide a secure and reliable connection between a CPVC pipe and a tank or other equipment. It allows for the transfer of fluids between the pipe and the connected device, such as a water heater, storage tank, or filtration system.
5. Application: Tank nipples are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems for various applications, including water supply, drainage, and fluid transfer. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
6. Corrosion Resistance: CPVC material offers excellent resistance to corrosion, chemical degradation, and scaling, making it ideal for use in diverse water conditions and environments. This ensures long-term durability and reliability of the tank nipple in plumbing systems.
7. Installation: Installation of the tank nipple involves threading the male ends into the female-threaded openings of the tank or equipment and tightening them securely using appropriate tools. Proper alignment and tightening are essential to ensure a leak-proof connection.

Overall, the Avonplast CPVC 1-1/2″ Tank Nipple provides a durable, corrosion-resistant, and easy-to-install solution for connecting CPVC pipes to tanks and other plumbing equipment, facilitating fluid transfer in plumbing systems with confidence in long-term performance and reliability.
