Robust & Reliable ConstructionEach Hex Nipple is manufactured using SS 304 grade stainless steel known for its excellent tensile strength and high corrosion resistance. The machined and polished finish further contributes to its reliability and smooth operation even within demanding industrial environments.
Versatile ApplicationsThis fitting is compatible with a variety of systemsincluding hydraulic, pneumatic, industrial, and plumbing pipelinesthanks to its BSPT male threads and high-pressure tolerance. Its adaptability makes it a preferred choice among manufacturers and suppliers across various sectors.
Precision Engineering & Standards ComplianceProduced under ASTM A182 standards, the Hex Nipple offers consistent quality and performance. The machined threads ensure a tight seal in both new installations and repairs, while its 1/4 inch size and polished finish offer universal appeal for maintenance and industrial projects.
FAQs of Hex Nipple:
Q: How is the Hex Nipple typically used in industrial and plumbing systems?
A: The Hex Nipple connects two pipes or fittings with female BSPT threads, providing a secure and leak-resistant joint in systems such as industrial plumbing, hydraulics, and pneumatic lines, especially where high pressure and temperature are factors.
Q: What are the advantages of using SS 304 grade stainless steel for this fitting?
A: SS 304 provides outstanding corrosion and chemical resistance, high tensile strength (minimum 515 MPa), and durability. This ensures the Hex Nipple remains dependable and maintenance-free even in aggressive, high-temperature, or high-pressure environments.
Q: When should I choose a BSPT threaded Hex Nipple over other thread types?
A: BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) threads are recommended when working with systems that require imperial pipe threads, particularly in industrial and plumbing applications where a tight, pressure-resistant seal is necessary.
Q: Where are these Hex Nipples manufactured and can they be sourced in bulk?
A: These Hex Nipples are produced in India, adhering to ASTM A182 standards, and are available to manufacturers, suppliers, and wholesalers in both box-packed and bulk-packed options for convenient supply and large-scale projects.
Q: What is the installation process for this pipe fitting?
A: Installation involves screwing the male BSPT ends into corresponding female threaded ports or fittings, ensuring proper sealing with thread tape or sealant where necessary. The hexagonal center allows for easy tightening using a suitable wrench.
Q: How does the polished finish benefit the performance and longevity of the fitting?
A: A polished surface reduces friction during installation, minimizes accumulation of residues, and enhances corrosion resistance, contributing to a longer lifespan and trouble-free maintenance in demanding settings.
