Types of connectors

Do you have pipes, elbows, tees, and other sheet metal fittings for ventilation?

Great. But they won’t connect on their own. Enter:

– NIPPLE CONNECTOR WITH GASKET

– SLEEVE CONNECTOR

Not all ventilation components have the same ends.

Some have nipple ends, while others have socket ends, e.g., silencers.

Nipple connector with seal – perfect for pipes

Want to connect two pipes (e.g., Spiro)?

A nipple with a gasket is your new best friend.

How does it work?

– Take pipe no. 1.

– Take pipe no. 2.

– Insert the nipple between them (put the nipple inside them) – with a factory-fitted seal (but not like a rubber band – a real, solid one, attached to the end or with a steel band).

– Click – a tight connection without tape, glue, or prayer.

💡 Why this gasket?

Because the ventilation must be airtight.

No leaks, no hissing, no blowing sideways.

Sleeve connector – when you have two nipples and zonk

Do you have an elbow and a tee, both with nipple ends?

You can’t connect them without a coupling.

It’s a metal sleeve that connects fittings with nipple ends.

How does it work?

– You have two nipples.

– The coupling fits over them from the outside – like a sock.

– You mount it with screws/rivets.

– Done – rigid, solid, and will last for years.

Psst… you can make a sleeve by cutting a piece of SPIRO pipe to size.

WHAT, WHEN, AND WHERE?

– Pipe + Pipe? → Nipple with gasket

– Fitting + Fitting (both with nipples)? → Sleeve
