Male Hex Close Nipple is a precision-engineered pipe fitting designed for secure, compact connections between two female-threaded components. With a hexagonal center for easy wrench tightening, this nipple offers a leak-proof solution in tight spaces where minimal pipe extension is critical. It’s widely used in plumbing, instrumentation, hydraulic, and industrial piping systems, especially where space constraints and high-pressure environments demand robust, reliable performance. Available in NPT or BSP threads, Male Hex Close Nipples ensure versatility and durability in a wide range of fluid and gas transfer applications.
