Pipe Fittings

Nipples are essential pipe fittings consisting of short pipe sections with male pipe threads at both ends, designed to connect two fittings or pipes. Made from materials like steel, copper, or PVC, they provide a reliable threaded connection for various piping systems.

Nipples are widely used in plumbing and industrial applications to extend or join piping components. Available in different lengths and materials, they are engineered to meet specific pressure, temperature, and corrosion requirements for diverse uses.

NIPPLES

Nipples are critical components in piping systems, offering a straightforward solution for connecting fittings or pipes. Specified by their overall length including threads, they are manufactured to match the material of the connected components, such as steel, copper, or PVC, ensuring compatibility and durability in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications.

Key Properties of NIPPLES

  • Threaded Connection: Features male pipe threads at both ends for secure fitting connections.
  • Material Compatibility: Made from steel, copper, PVC, or other materials to match connected components.
  • Durability: Designed to withstand high pressure and temperature for reliable performance.
  • Customizable Length: Available in various lengths to suit specific piping requirements.

Types of Nipples

Nipples are categorized based on their material, length, and thread type to meet specific application needs.

Type Description Application
Close Nipple Short nipple with threads covering the entire length, no unthreaded section. Tight connections in plumbing and gas lines.
Standard Nipple Features a short unthreaded section between threaded ends, available in various lengths. General plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping.
Stainless Steel Nipple Corrosion-resistant, ideal for harsh environments. Chemical processing, marine applications.
PVC Nipple Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, used in non-pressurized systems. Irrigation and drainage systems.

Applications of NIPPLES

Nipples are widely used across industries for their ability to connect fittings and pipes in various piping systems:

  • Plumbing: Connects fittings in water and gas lines for residential and commercial systems.
  • HVAC: Joins components in heating and cooling systems for efficient fluid or air transport.
  • Industrial Piping: Supports connections in chemical plants, oil refineries, and manufacturing equipment.
  • Irrigation Systems: Facilitates connections in agricultural and municipal water distribution networks.
