    • Uses:
    • Essentially they are used to join a two female pipe threads.
    • Hexagonal Nipples are commonly used for connecting two female threaded fittings or female threaded pipes together.
    • Their heaxagonal head enables them to be tightened with a wrench, allowing for a quicker and easier installation.
    • Advantages:
    • ● A stainless steel Hex Nipple is a fitting often used in piping and plumbing, where a tighter connection is required.
    • The hexagon nut shape offers increased grip, which allows for easy tightening or loosening.
    • This makes them ideal for situations that require dis-assembly and re-assembly.
    • Installation:
    • ● Thread one or both of the Male NPT threads into a Female NPT thread.
    • ● The hexagon bolt shape functions like a nut that can be gripped by a wrench for easy tightening and loosesning.
    • Size Classification:
    • A threaded hex nipple is classified according to the size of the female pipe thread they will connect with.
    • ● For Example: a 3/4" hexagon nipple will connect to a 3/4" female NPT thread.

    • Hexagonal Nipple.
    • Hex Fitting.
    • Alternate Options:
    • An alternative are Close Nipples which are all threaded pipe nipples with no-unthreaded pipe space between the male threads.

    More information:

    Hexagonal nipples are pipe fittings featuring a hexagonal (six-sided) shape in the center of the fitting between the male threads on either end. This Hexagonal Head provides a convenient surface for tightening or loosening with a wrench. This nipple pipe connector has male threads at either ends, enabling them to securely connect two female threaded fittings or components. These hexagon nipples are made from stainless steel 304 & 316, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion making them suitable for a wide range of environments. Their hexagonal shape allows for easy installation and removal using a standard wrench. NPT Hex nipples are widely used in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical systems. Often used for extending pipe lengths, joining different pipe sections, or connecting fittings, pumps and other equipment with female threads together.
