Description
The Anderson Metals reducing hex nipple pipe fitting is made of brass and has
male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded connections. This reducing hex nipple
fitting has one end smaller than the other for connecting two threaded pipes
with different diameters, and it has a hexagonal head for an increased bearing
surface when adjusting the fitting with a wrench. It has male NPT threads for
connecting to female threaded pipes, creating a tighter seal than straight
threads. This fitting is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at
high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. Brass can be connected to
copper, brass, plastic, aluminum, and welded steel. The operating temperatures
for this fitting range from -53 to 121 degrees C (-65 to 250 degrees F). This
fitting meets American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) B584 and
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)/American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) B16 specifications for quality assurance.Pipe fittings are
components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing
the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe
fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape,
size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded,
in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).Anderson
