Nipple 1 4 brass 1/4F x 1/4V SB2

For anyone working on piping, the difficulty is rarely the part itself, but choosing the right size and version. Below you can read what to look out for before you order.

What does 1/4F x 1/4V mean?

The size 1/4 refers to the thread size of the connection. The letters F and V indicate how the ends of the nipple are finished. In the designation on this page, both ends have the same size, so there is no reduction from one diameter to the other. If you want to connect two different sizes, you will need a different type of fitting.

First check your existing connection

Before you order, look at the connections between which the nipple will be fitted. The thread size and the type of end must match both parts. If you are in doubt, measure the thread or bring an existing part with you. This prevents you from ordering a coupling that does not fit and the work coming to a standstill.

Sealing and installing

With threaded connections in piping, the thread is often made watertight with a sealant. A common choice is flax or hemp, which you can find in the Proffix range. Tighten the connection neatly and avoid excessive force, so the thread is not damaged.
