Stainless Steel Hex Nipple

Product Details:

A hex nipple is a short pipe fitting with:

• Male threads on both ends

• Hexagonal section in the middle for wrench tightening

Purpose:

• Connect two female-threaded components such as pipes, valves, gauges, or fittings

• Commonly used in instrumentation, chemical, oil & gas, and process piping

• Hex shape allows easy torque application without damaging threads

• Stainless Steel 304 (SS304) — standard corrosion resistance, general purpose

• Stainless Steel 316 / 316L (SS316L) — higher corrosion resistance for chemical, marine, or chloride environments

• Properties:

  • Corrosion and rust-resistant

  • High strength and durability

  • Suitable for high-pressure applications

  • SS316L: low carbon for better weldability

• Thread Type: Male NPT (National Pipe Tapered)

• Standard: ANSI/ASME B1.20.1

• Function: Creates a tight, leak-resistant joint using tapered threads

• Sealing: Thread sealant (PTFE tape or pipe dope) recommended for pressure-tight applications

• Can be equal size (same NPT on both ends) or reducing (different thread sizes each end)

• Hexagonal section allows wrench tightening

• Prevents twisting threads or damaging male threads during installation

• Provides better torque application than straight cylindrical nipples

• Exact ratings depend on nipple size, material grade, and schedule

• Suitable for high-pressure instrumentation and process piping

• Material: ASTM A182 / A276 (for stainless steel forged/nickel alloy fittings)

• Threading: ASME B1.20.1 (NPT threads)

• Fitting Dimensions: ASME B16.11 (for threaded forged fittings)

Product Details:

• Connects two female-threaded components (valves, manifolds, ports, etc.)

• Machined from solid SS316 for superior corrosion resistance

• Hex body allows easy installation with standard wrenches

• Leak-tight performance in high-pressure gas and fluid applications

• Ideal for instrumentation, chemical, water, and oil & gas systems

• Available in metric or imperial thread combinations

• Instrumentation panels and skids

• Process piping and sample lines

• Hydraulic equipment

• Water treatment systems

• Oil & gas field assemblies

• Chemical injection systems

  • SS 304: Good corrosion resistance for general use

  • SS 316: Better resistance in harsh/chemical/marine environments

• Thread Type:

  • NPT (National Pipe Thread) – Tapered for tight seal

  • BSP (British Standard Pipe) – Common outside North America

  • UN/UNF (Unified National Fine) – Precise hydraulic connections

• Pressure Rating: Often rated for high pressure, up to 6000 PSI or more, depending on size and material

• Sizes: Ranges from 1/8” to 2” (or larger), depending on system requirements

• Hex Shape: Allows easy installation with standard wrenches

• Hydraulic machinery and systems

• Industrial automation

• Oil & gas

• Marine and chemical processing

• High-pressure fluid transfer systems

• Corrosion-resistant (especially SS 316)

• High-pressure durability

• Reusable and easy to install/remove

• Compact, strong mechanical design

Product Details:

A threaded hex nipple is a short pipe with male threads on both ends and a hexagonal section in the center. The hex allows easy tightening using a wrench. Made from stainless steel, it's ideal for high-pressure and corrosion-resistant piping systems.

• Common grades:

  • SS304 – Good corrosion resistance, general-purpose

  • SS316 – Superior corrosion resistance (chloride environments, marine, chemical use)

• Ends: Male NPT (National Pipe Tapered) or BSPT threads

• Hex center: Allows wrench grip for tightening

• Length: Varies (standard lengths: close, short, long)

• Sizes: Typically 1/8" to 4" NPT

• Corrosion and rust resistant

• Durable under high pressure/temperature

• Easy to install/remove with a wrench

• Reusable and cleanable

• Plumbing

• Oil & Gas piping

• Chemical processing

• Hydraulic systems

• Food & beverage

• Marine and offshore systems

Product Details:

Stainless steel nipples are used for threaded connection between industrial fittings and pipe fittings and are available in various grades, diameters and threads. In its most basic form, the stainless nipple is a short threaded fitting with male threads at both ends for connecting other fittings.
