Hex Nipple
A precision-machined brass hex nipple fitting featuring a prominent hexagonal center section for convenient wrench engagement during installation and removal. Manufactured from CDA C36000 free-cutting brass with male threads on both ends conforming to BSP or NPT standards. The hexagonal center provides a secure gripping surface, allowing plumbers and installers to apply precise torque without damaging the fitting surface or adjacent pipe connections. Available in standard sizes from 1/8 inch to 2 inches with various length configurations. The robust brass construction delivers superior corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor plumbing installations. Working pressure rated up to 25 bar with temperature capabilities from -20°C to +120°C. Ideal for joining two female-threaded connections in water supply lines, gas distribution systems, heating circuits, compressed air systems, and general industrial pipework.
