Tube Nipple

A tube nipple is a type of fitting used in plumbing and piping systems. It is a short piece of pipe with male threads on both ends, designed to connect two lengths of tubing or pipe together. Tube nipples are commonly used in various industries, including oil and gas, chemical, and construction.

In the supply class Hose, Pipe, Tube, Lubrication, and Railing Fittings, tube nipples are categorized as fittings specifically used for connecting tubes or pipes. They are part of the larger supply group Pipe, Tubing, Hose, and Fittings, which encompasses a wide range of products related to fluid conveyance and piping systems.

Tube nipples come in various materials, such as stainless steel, brass, or carbon steel, and they are available in different sizes and thread types to accommodate different applications. They are typically used in conjunction with other fittings, such as couplings, adapters, or valves, to create a secure and leak-free connection between two pipes or tubes.

When selecting a tube nipple, it is important to consider factors such as the material compatibility with the fluid being conveyed, the pressure and temperature requirements of the system, and the size and thread type needed for proper installation.
