Description
A reducing nipple joins two female fittings of different sizes. It has a larger male thread at one end and a smaller male thread at the other. As a result, you can step down a line without a separate reducer. We stock reducing nipples at our showroom in Nad Al Hamar, Dubai, for same-day collection across the UAE.
First, note both sizes, for example 3/4″ x 1/2″. Next, choose the thread type: BSPT for most UAE water lines, or NPT for oil and gas skids. Finally, choose GI for water, carbon steel for oil and air, or stainless steel 316 for chemicals.
Why Choose Our Reducing Nipple
- One-piece joint: It replaces a bushing and nipple, so there is one less leak path.
- Easy to fit: The hex centre gives a firm grip for a spanner.
- Pressure choice: Forged steel nipples suit 3000# and 6000# lines.
- Swage option: In addition, swage nipples to MSS-SP-95 cover larger steps.
