Description
A GI reducing nipple joins two female fittings of different sizes. It has a larger male thread at one end, a smaller one at the other, and a hex in the middle. As a result, you can step down a water line without a separate bush. We stock galvanised reducing nipples at our showroom in Nad Al Hamar, Dubai.
First, note both sizes, for example 1″ x 3/4″. Next, wrap both threads with PTFE tape or use a thread sealant. Because the zinc coating resists rust, the fitting also suits outdoor and wet areas. In addition, we stock equal GI nipples and unions for the same line.
Why Choose Our GI Reducing Nipple
- One-piece joint: It replaces a bush and nipple, so there is one less leak path.
- Easy to fit: The hex centre gives a firm grip for a spanner.
- Rust resistant: Hot-dip galvanising protects against water and humidity.
- Wide size range: In addition, we keep most common reductions from 1/2″ to 4″.
