The Plasson Threaded Nipple is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable connection for 3/4 inch BSP piping systems. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-grade Polypropylene durability and WRAS approval, ensuring it is safe for potable water transport while resisting the corrosion common in metal fittings. The main caveat is that it is strictly for 3/4 inch BSP applications, meaning it is not compatible with standard imperial or non-threaded pipe systems without appropriate adapters.

Yes, Polypropylene is highly resistant to soil-based corrosion and is ideal for buried MDPE pipe installations.
This product is designed primarily for cold potable water systems. It is not recommended for high-temperature plumbing or steam applications.
No special tools are required; standard adjustable wrenches are sufficient for final tightening.
Yes, being made of Polypropylene, it is completely free from lead and other heavy metals found in traditional bronze or gunmetal fittings.
WRAS approval ensures that the product has been tested to meet the high standards required for materials coming into contact with public water supplies.
The fitting may be under-tightened or missing sufficient PTFE tape. Remove, re-apply thread sealant tape, and ensure the threads are seated properly.
Do not force the connection. Stop immediately, unscrew the fitting, and check the threads for debris or cross-threading damage.
To set up the Plasson Threaded Nipple, first ensure that both the pipe and the receiving threaded port are clean and free of debris. Apply a suitable amount of PTFE tape to the male threads to assist in sealing. Hand-tighten the fitting until firm, then apply a final turn with a wrench if necessary, taking care not to overtighten and crack the plastic casing. This component is specifically designed for 3/4 inch BSP connections. For maintenance, periodically inspect the joint for signs of moisture or weeping. Because the material is Polypropylene, do not use harsh abrasive cleaners; a simple damp cloth is sufficient to keep the exterior clean. If the system is subject to freezing temperatures, ensure the pipework is properly insulated, as the fitting itself is durable but the contained water may freeze and expand.
