• Product Description:
• ● A stainless steel hex nipple is a short pipe with male threads on both ends and a hexagonal-shaped head in the center.
  
• ● This hexagon-shaped head in between the male threaded ends allows for easy gripping and tightening with a wrench.
• Used for:
• ● Hexagon nipples are used to connect two female threaded fittings, pipes, and other components.
• ● The hex head enables a secure grip, allowing them to be  'tightened' more easily than other pipe nipples, minimizing the risk of leaks.
• Advantage:
• ● The hexagonal head provides a gripping surface for a wrench or other tool, which makes for easy tightening and loosening.
• ● The hex head makes it easier to install, remove, and tighten than close nipples and barrel nipples.
• ● This makes them well-suited to applications that require regular assembly and disassembly.
• To Install:
• ● Thread one of the male threaded ends into a female threaded fitting of the same size.
• ● The hexagon-shaped head provides a surface to be gripped by a wrench, making it easy to tighten or loosen. 
• Item Sizing:
• ● A hexagon nipple size is based on the size of the thread it will connect to.
• ● For Example, A  1" hexagon nipple pipe fitting will have a 1" male thread and install into a 1" female thread.
• Also referred to as:
• ● Hexagonal Nipple. 
• Other Options:
• ● Other options include Close Nipples, which have no unthreaded section between the threads.
• ● Other options include Pipe Nipples, which have an unthreaded section of pipe between the male threads.

• Materials of Construction:
• ● Manufactured with Stainless Steel 304 & 316

More Information:

A hex nipple is a short pipe nipple used to connect two female threaded fittings or pipes. Essentially, it is a short length of pipe with male threads on both ends and a hexagonal section in the center. It is called "hex" because of the shape of the hexagon-shaped head between the threads, which usually has six sides. This ‘hex’ design ensures a secure grip, allowing for easy tightening and loosening with a wrench, making them ideal for applications where frequent disassembly and re-assembly are required. This plumbing nipple has NPT threads (National Pipe Thread), which are tapered threads that provide a secure and leak-proof connection when installed correctly. These stainless steel nipples are made out of stainless steel, which makes them corrosion-resistant. These threaded nipple fittings are used in industrial applications, including plumbing and piping systems, oil and gas, and fluid transfer systems.
