Avonplast CPVC 1-1/4″ Tank Nipple

The Avonplast CPVC 1-1/4″ Tank Nipple is a plumbing fitting designed to connect CPVC pipes to tanks or other equipment. Here’s an overview of its features:

1. Material: Constructed from CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride), a thermoplastic known for its resistance to corrosion, high temperatures, and chemical exposure. CPVC is commonly used in hot and cold water distribution systems.
2. Size: The tank nipple has a nominal size of 1-1/4 inches, indicating the diameter of the pipe it connects. This size matches standard CPVC pipe sizes, ensuring compatibility and a secure fit.
3. Design: Typically features 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, leak-proof connection.
4. Function: The primary function of the tank nipple is to establish a reliable connection between a CPVC pipe and a tank or other equipment. It facilitates 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 can be installed in both indoor and outdoor settings.
6. Corrosion Resistance: CPVC material provides excellent resistance to corrosion, chemical degradation, and scaling, ensuring long-term durability and reliability in diverse water conditions and environments.
7. Installation: Installation involves threading the male ends of the tank nipple into the female-threaded openings of the tank or equipment and tightening them securely using appropriate tools. Proper alignment and tightening are crucial to prevent leaks and ensure a robust connection.

In summary, the Avonplast CPVC 1-1/4″ Tank Nipple offers a durable, corrosion-resistant 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.
