Stainless Steel Hex Nipple

Stainless Steel Hex Nipple

Precision CNC Machined Hexagon Pipe Connector

  Stainless Steel Hex Nipple is a short pipe fitting with external threads on both ends and a hexagonal center section, designed to connect two female-threaded fittings securely. The hex-shaped body allows easy gripping with a wrench or spanner, making installation and removal faster and more reliable than barrel (round) nipples. Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, hex nipples provide excellent sealing performance, corrosion resistance, and durability in demanding piping and hydraulic systems.

Material

• Stainless Steel (SS304, SS316, SS316L optional)

• Excellent corrosion and rust resistance

• High mechanical strength and pressure resistance

• Suitable for harsh, humid, and corrosive environments

Size & Thread Options

• Available in multiple sizes and lengths

• Thread standards: NPT, BSP, BSPT, Metric (customizable)

• Other dimensions available upon request

CNC Machining & Manufacturing Processes

These stainless steel hex nipples are produced using advanced CNC machining and precision metalworking processes, including:

• CNC Turning – to machine the outer diameter, inner bore, and concentricity

• CNC Thread Cutting – for precise external threads on both ends

• CNC Milling / Hex Forming – to create the hexagonal center for wrench grip

• Precision Deburring – to remove sharp edges and ensure safe handling

• Surface Finishing & Passivation – to enhance corrosion resistance and surface quality

Strict quality control ensures consistent dimensions and reliable sealing performance.

Key Features

• Hexagonal center for superior wrench grip

• External threads on both ends for secure connections
