Product Description

Inside threaded nipple, also known as a close nipple, is a type of pipe fitting designed to connect two fittings or pipes with internal threads. Here’s a detailed product description:

• Purpose: Inside threaded nipples are used to create a connection between two fittings or pipes with internal threads, such as elbows, tees, valves, or other fittings. They are commonly used in plumbing, HVAC, and various industrial applications.
• Design: Inside threaded nipples consist of a short, cylindrical piece of pipe with male threads on both ends. These threads are designed to fit securely into the internal threads of the mating components, creating a tight and leak-proof connection.
• Material: Inside threaded nipples are available in various materials to suit different applications and environmental conditions. Common materials include stainless steel, brass, carbon steel, and other alloys, chosen based on factors such as corrosion resistance, pressure requirements, and fluid compatibility.
• Sizes: Inside threaded nipples come in a range of sizes to accommodate different pipe diameters and thread specifications. Common sizes vary depending on the application and specific requirements.
• Thread Standards: Inside threaded nipples adhere to standard thread specifications such as NPT (National Pipe Thread), BSP (British Standard Pipe), or metric threads. It’s essential to ensure compatibility between the inside threaded nipple and the mating components.
• Pressure Rating: The pressure rating of inside threaded nipples depends on factors such as material, size, wall thickness, and thread type. Manufacturers provide pressure ratings suitable for specific applications and operating conditions.
• Applications: Inside threaded nipples find applications in various industries and sectors, including plumbing systems, HVAC systems, process piping, water distribution, and industrial applications where internal pipe connections are required.
• Installation: Installing an inside threaded nipple involves screwing the threaded ends securely into the internal threads of the mating components using wrenches or pipe wrenches. Proper thread sealant or Teflon tape is often used to ensure a leak-free connection.
• Standards Compliance: Manufacturers ensure that inside threaded nipples comply with relevant industry standards and specifications, such as ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards, to ensure quality, performance, and safety.
