Hex Nipple

Source Hex Nipple from verified mills, manufacturers and stockists on MetalMitra. Options span hex nipple and hex reducing nipple, produced to MSS SP-95 / manufacturer standard, and every order can ship with an EN 10204 3.1 certificate.

Through MetalMitra you can source Hex Nipple in stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, duplex, nickel alloy and other grades, across a broad range of sizes and pressure ratings.

A hex nipple has male threads on both ends with a hex in the centre, used to join two female-threaded fittings.

Threaded (screwed) fittings are forged fittings with internal or external pipe threads, allowing small-bore piping to be assembled and dismantled without welding. They are used in utility, instrument, air, water and low-to-medium pressure process lines.
