What is a Weld Nipple?

A weld nipple is a short length of pipe with a threaded end and a plain end designed for welding into a pipe system. It is typically used to create a threaded outlet from a welded pipe run, combining the strength of a welded connection with the flexibility of a threaded connection.

Typical Applications:

• Threaded to welded pipework transitions
• Water and steam distribution systems
• Industrial and process pipe installations
• Chemical and corrosive fluid systems
