Avonplast UPVC 3/4″ Tank Nipple

The Avonplast UPVC 3/4″ Tank Nipple is a component used in UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) piping systems for connecting pipes to tanks or vessels. Here’s an overview of its features and applications:

1. Material: The Tank Nipple is made of UPVC, a rigid and durable type of plastic known for its corrosion resistance, chemical inertness, and longevity. UPVC is commonly used in piping systems for conveying water, chemicals, and other fluids.
2. Size: The Tank Nipple has a nominal size of 3/4″, which refers to the diameter of the pipe it is designed to connect. This size designation ensures compatibility with pipes of the same nominal size.
3. Design: The Tank Nipple features male threaded ends on both sides, allowing it to be screwed into female threaded fittings or connections. One end of the Tank Nipple is typically attached to a tank or vessel, while the other end is connected to a pipe or fitting.
4. Threaded Connections: The male threaded ends of the Tank Nipple allow for a secure and leak-proof connection with female threaded fittings or connections. Thread sealant or tape may be used to ensure a watertight seal.
5. Versatility: Tank Nipples are essential components in piping systems that require connections to tanks or vessels. They are commonly used in applications such as water storage tanks, chemical processing vessels, and industrial equipment.
6. Pressure Rating: The Tank Nipple is designed to withstand standard operating pressures commonly encountered in plumbing and industrial applications. It is essential to adhere to recommended pressure ratings and installation guidelines to ensure optimal performance and safety.
7. Corrosion Resistance: UPVC material provides excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and UV radiation, making the Tank Nipple suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including potable water systems, chemical processing, and irrigation.
8. Easy Installation: The Tank Nipple can be easily installed by screwing it into female threaded fittings or connections using a wrench. Thread sealant or tape may be applied to the male threads to ensure a tight seal and prevent leaks.

In summary, the Avonplast UPVC 3/4″ Tank Nipple offers a reliable and versatile solution for connecting pipes to tanks or vessels in UPVC piping systems. Its durable construction, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation make it suitable for various plumbing, industrial, and agricultural applications.
