Fluidra - PVC Double Male-Threaded Nipple 1"

Fluidra – PVC Double Male-Threaded Nipple 1″

This genuine Fluidra PVC double male-threaded nipple is a short pipe connector with external (male) BSP threads on both ends, designed to join two female-threaded components within a pool filtration system. It forms part of the internal collector assembly of the Fluidra DV-650 Red Astral sand filter, enabling secure, leak-free connections between union nuts, valves, and other threaded fittings in the 1″ pipework circuit.

Compatibility

This fitting is a listed spare part for the Fluidra FIL. DV-650 T/C/NG Red Astral sand filter range. The DV-650 series uses 1″ diameter collector pipework internally, and this nipple is engineered to match that specification precisely. Always verify your filter model and collector diameter before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Why Genuine Matters

Genuine Fluidra PVC pressure fittings are manufactured to exacting dimensional tolerances, ensuring a reliable, watertight seal under pool operating pressures. Off-brand substitutes may have inconsistent thread profiles or inferior PVC-U formulations that can lead to leaks or premature failure. Sourcing the original part guarantees full compatibility and maintains the integrity of your filtration system.

Installation

Thread both ends into the respective female-threaded components by hand first, then tighten to the manufacturer’s recommended torque. Use PTFE (plumber’s tape) on the threads to achieve a fully watertight seal. Ensure the filter system is depressurised and drained before replacing any pipework fittings.
