Types of Pipe Nipples
Pipe nipples are a crucial component in the piping industry, used to connect two pipes or a pipe to a fitting. They are short stubs of pipes with a male thread at each end or at one end. Here are some common types of pipe nipples
- Close Nipple : This is the shortest type of nipple and doesn’t have an unthreaded area. It’s used when there’s no space between the fittings that need to be connected
- Short Nipple : Also known as a shoulder nipple, this type has a small unthreaded area on each end. It’s used when a small gap is needed between the fittings
- Long Nipple : This type has a longer unthreaded area and is used when a larger gap is needed between the fittings
- Running Nipple : This type is longer than a close nipple and is threaded from end to end. It’s used to connect two fittings that are far apart
- Hexagonal Nipple : This type has a hexagonal section in the middle for a wrench to grip. It’s used in applications where tightness is crucial
- Reducing Nipple : This type has different sizes of threads on each end. It’s used to connect two fittings of different sizes
- Hose Nipple : This type has one end perfectly suited for hoses. It’s used to connect a pipe to a hose
