Pipe Nipples

Our stainless pipe nipples are machined from premium stainless steel bar stock material. The pipe nipples have been developed based on ASME B31.3 for instrument and process control.
In a piping or instrumentation fluid delivery system, a pipe nipple is a fitting, consisting of a short piece of pipe or machined bar stark, usually provided with a male pipe thread at each end, for connecting two other fittings.
The length of the pipe nipple is usually specified by the overall length with threads. A hex pipe nipple has a section in the center for wrench to grasp. A "close nipple" has no hex or clear threaded area; when screwed tightly between two female fittings, very little of the pipe nipple remains exposed. A close nipple can only be unscrewed by gripping one threaded end with a pipe wrench which will damage the threads and necessitate replacing the pipe nipple.
The Fitting Store Premium Instrumentation Grade Pipe Fittings offer these features:
- Attractive finishes to suit precision equipment
- Space-saving therefore less-weight design
- Each fitting is cleaned to remove particles, oil and grease.
- Fine NPT pipe thread construction equals or exceeds the requirement of ASME B1.20.1 to ensure maximum thread engagement.
- Service at greater pressure levels than the traditional class 3000 pipe fitting to ASME B16.11
- Male pipe threads are capped to be protected from damages
- Fitting material available in SS316
NOTE: Pipe thread sealant is essential to ensure a leak-tight seal. Wrap TeflonTM tape clockwise from first thread. Do not over hang the first thread, as the tape may get into the fluid system.
