Description
A hex nipple joins two female threaded fittings with a short, strong connection. It has a male thread at each end and a hexagon in the middle. Therefore, you can tighten it with a spanner, even in tight spaces. We stock hex nipples at our showroom in Nad Al Hamar, Dubai, so maintenance teams across the UAE can collect the same day.
First, choose the thread type to match your fittings: NPT is common on oil and gas skids, while BSPT is common on water and building services in the UAE. Next, choose carbon steel for general use or stainless steel 316 for corrosive service.
Why Choose Our Hex Nipple
- Easy to install: The hex centre gives a firm grip, so you avoid damaging the threads.
- Clean threads: We supply tapered NPT and BSPT threads that seal well with tape or paste.
- Forged strength: Forged hex nipples also come in 3000# and 6000# classes for high-pressure lines.
- Compact joint: In addition, the short body keeps valves and gauges close to the main pipe.
