885230 Nipple | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta nipple 885230, listed at 0.03 kg. It is the only nipple in this run of tool numbers, so there is no near neighbour to confuse it with.

⚙️ Key Features

• 0.03 kg
• The only nipple in this tool block
• Genuine Volvo Penta service tooling

🔌 Function

Provides the threaded connection point that couples a line or fitting to the component during the service operation.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Thread crossed, stripped or picking up
• Sealing face nicked, so the joint weeps
• Hex rounded off from over-tightening
• Bore blocked with old sealant or debris

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the bore is clear before fitting — a nipple is often the feed point or restriction for a circuit, and debris left in it will starve whatever it supplies
• On tapered threads use the paste or liquid sealant specified for the fluid concerned, applied a few threads back from the open end; avoid thread tape on fuel and oil lines, where a shed shred travels downstream into filters, pumps and injectors
• Where the nipple seals on a face or against a washer rather than on its thread, fit a new sealing washer instead of curing a weep by overtightening
• Tighten to the figure in the workshop manual for your engine — these are small fittings in castings and are easily stripped, or the surrounding boss cracked
• Support the pipe or hose so it meets the nipple square and without side load, then check the joint at working pressure and temperature
