A Threaded Pipe Nipple is a short piece of pipe with male threads on both ends. It is designed to connect two female-threaded components, typically pipes or fittings, creating a secure and leak-tight joint in a piping system. Threaded pipe nipples are commonly used in plumbing and industrial applications where a temporary or removable connection is required.
Installation of Threaded Pipe Nipples involves screwing them into the female threads of the components, and they can be easily removed for maintenance or changes in the system. These fittings are popular for their simplicity, versatility, and ease of installation in a variety of piping applications.
A Threaded Hex Nipple is a specific type of threaded pipe nipple that features a hexagonal (six-sided) shape at one or both ends. This hexagonal section serves as a flat surface for a wrench or a socket wrench, allowing for easy installation and removal in plumbing or industrial applications. The hex design provides a practical advantage by facilitating a secure grip during tightening or loosening.
Installation involves screwing the threaded hex nipple into the female threads of the components, and the hexagonal head allows for the use of a wrench or a socket wrench for precise tightening. This type of nipple is chosen when the application requires a balance between ease of installation, a secure grip for torque application, and the durability of the threaded connection.
A Threaded Swage Nipple is a special type of threaded pipe nipple that features one end with external male threads and the other end with internal female threads. This design allows for a reduction or transition in pipe size. The end with external threads can be connected to a larger pipe or fitting, while the end with internal threads can accommodate a smaller pipe or fitting.
Installation involves screwing the male-threaded end into the female-threaded component, creating a secure and leak-tight connection. The threaded swage nipple provides a convenient solution for adapting and connecting pipes or fittings with varying diameters within a piping system.
