ABSTRACT:
A fluid conducting connector for use in water connections particularly water heater connectors. The connector assembly is designed for mating connection to a galvanized nipple for reduction of galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metal connections. An insulator sleeve is seated within the connector to maintain separation between the galvanized nipple and the copper tube of the assembly. The connector assembly includes an internally threaded female connector mounted to the copper tube for connection to the nipple. The insulator sleeve includes a tubular body and a radial flange. The body of the sleeve extends partially into the copper tube while the flange seats within the female connector acting as a washer for the assembly.
