Nipple V-PEX 1'' nickel-plated 6034240

V-PEX 1'' nickel-plated nipple – a leak-proof connection in the installation

This 1-inch nickel-plated V-PEX nipple is a key element for creating durable and tight connections in water installation systems. Made of high-quality brass, it provides corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. It is a threaded fitting designed to connect PEX pipes, commonly used in central heating and plumbing installations.

Construction and application

The V-PEX nipple is used to connect pipes of the same diameter, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly of installation elements. Its external thread provides a tight connection with other system components. Thanks to the precise thread machining and standardized dimensions, installation is quick and intuitive for both professionals and those undertaking DIY projects. This nipple finds application in:

• Central heating (CH) installations
• Plumbing installations
• Underfloor heating systems
• Heat manifolds
• Heating device connections

Operating parameters and safety

The V-PEX 1'' nipple is designed to operate in demanding conditions. It withstands a maximum working pressure of up to 10 bar and a water temperature of up to 95°C. The maximum pressure for domestic hot water (DHW) is 0.6 MPa, and for cold water (CW) at a temperature of 20°C – 1 MPa. The solid brass construction guarantees resistance to mechanical and chemical damage, ensuring long-term and safe use. It is important to regularly check the condition of the connections to ensure their tightness and proper functioning of the entire system.

Good to know: Brass is a corrosion-resistant material, making this nipple an ideal choice for water installations where contact with water is unavoidable. Nickel plating further protects the surface against oxidation, improving the aesthetics and durability of the product.
