3 stainless steel pipe nipple

Constructed of stainless steel, a pipe nipple is a simple component made up of a brief length of pipe with male threads attached at both ends. It has the purpose of connecting two separate fittings together.

When joining pipes or fittings of divergent sizes or types, pipe nipples make a trustworthy connection. They are ideal for affixing a 1/8-inch NPT pipe to a 1/4-inch NPT pipe, as demonstrated by the 1/8-inch NPT pipe nipple.

Although typically used to attach piping to valves, pipe nipples also aid in connecting different kinds of fittings that have diverse thread varieties. To illustrate – an advantageous pipe nipple could be utilized to join a NPT fitting and a BSPT fitting.

A rich selection of pipe nipples, sized from 1/8 inch to 2 inches, are within easy reach; the often chosen ones being 1/8-inch, 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch, 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, 1-inch, 1-1/4-inch, 1-1/2-inch, and 2-inch.

A variety of materials can be used to form the structure of a pipe nipple, ranging from gleaming brass, noble bronze, resilient stainless steel, durable carbon steel, and lightweight plastic.

Pipes with nipples on each end find utility across a broad range of purposes, starting from plumbing and heating to cooling, alongside countless potential applications.

A broad range of measurements can be found for pipe nipples, which vary in length – from short spans that are less than 1 inch to the much longer length of over 2 feet.

The fitting of pipe nipples normally requires the use of a wrench or a pipe wrench.

Finishes ranging from black oxide to galvanized and chrome plated are being offered to suit the needs of every customer when it comes to pipe nipples.
