What is a Hexagon Nipple?

A hexagon (equal) nipple is a short length of pipe with male threads at both ends and a hexagonal body in the middle for spanner tightening. It is typically used to join two threaded pipe sections securely in a compact installation.

Typical Applications:

• Connecting two male-threaded pipes
• Water and steam distribution systems
• Industrial and process pipe installations
• Chemical and corrosive fluid systems
