PEX-LINED NIPPLES & HEAT TRAP NIPPLES

Take your corrosion protection to a higher level.
PROSELECT PEX-lined nipples and heat trap nipples are here to protect your water heater’s inside surface from
corrosion. Our nipples utilize APCOM’s Pex-Shield™ (cross-linked polyethylene) PEX lining.
Here’s the difference…ordinary epoxy coated nipples place a thin, uneven “film” between fluid and the steel
inner surface. Nicked and “missed” steel surfaces, and exposed end threads, give corrosion a place to start.
APCOM’s PEX-Shield™ lining provides a seamless, gap free seal, to virtually eliminate fluid migration to the steel.
PEX, a dielectric material, helps assure connections without corrosion due to electrolysis for longer-lasting parts.
Our electroplated steel nipples with a “Rollover Edge” PEX lining is the best material to help protect the water
heater lining from early corrosion.
