Overview
Product overview
Swage Nipples and Hex Nipples are essential forged fittings used for connecting sections of pipe or attaching pipes to valves and other components.
Types of Nipples and Their Uses
- Swage Nipple:Description: Swage Nipples are designed to connect two pipes of different diameters. One end has a larger diameter for connection to a larger pipe, while the other end has a smaller diameter for connection to a smaller pipe. These fittings are available in both threaded and socket weld forms.
- Applications: Used in various industries, including oil and gas, chemical, and petrochemical, to ensure a seamless connection between pipes of different sizes.
- Hex Nipple:Description: Hex Nipples feature two male threaded ends of the same size and a hexagonal body for easy tightening or loosening with a wrench. They are also available in threaded and socket weld forms.
- Applications: Ideal for situations requiring frequent assembly and disassembly, such as in maintenance operations.
