Product introduction
Straight Hexagonal Nipple Technical Overview
A Straight Hexagonal Nipple is a precision-machined pipe fitting featuring a hexagonal center section with straight (non-tapered) threaded ends. This distinctive design provides wrench flats along its body, allowing for secure installation and removal in tight spaces where conventional pipe nipples would be difficult to handle.
The fitting typically incorporates uniform threads (straight/NPS or tapered/NPT) on both ends, with the central hexagonal portion serving as the primary gripping surface. This configuration offers several functional advantages over standard hex head fittings, particularly in applications requiring precise alignment or frequent maintenance.
Manufactured to exacting tolerances, Straight Hexagonal Nipples are commonly produced from carbon steel (ASTM A105), stainless steel (A182), brass, and other alloys to suit various pressure and corrosion requirements. The straight thread versions (NPS) are particularly valuable in fluid power systems where positive sealing is achieved through O-rings or gaskets rather than thread taper.
Key characteristics include:
Precise machined threads for reliable sealing
Symmetrical design permitting installation in either direction
Full-diameter flow path (in straight thread configurations)
Multiple wrenching surfaces for torque application
Installation typically requires:
Proper thread cleaning and lubrication
Careful alignment before engagement
Controlled torque application using the hexagonal midsection
Verification of proper seating and orientation
These nipples find primary application in:
Hydraulic power systems
Precision instrumentation lines
High-pressure gas systems
Pharmaceutical and food processing equipment
Semiconductor manufacturing
Quality assurance measures include:
Dimensional verification per ASME B16.11
Material certification to applicable ASTM standards
Pressure testing when required
Surface finish inspection
Specialized variants may feature:
Electropolished surfaces (for ultra-clean systems)
High-pressure designs with reinforced walls
Corrosion-resistant platings
Custom thread combinations
The Straight Hexagonal Nipple's unique combination of precise thread control and practical installation features makes it an essential component in systems demanding both reliability and serviceability. Its design effectively bridges the gap between standard pipe nipples and precision fittings, offering installers and maintenance personnel superior control during assembly and disassembly procedures.
