Description
This Anderson Metals 56122 hex nipple is a brass pipe fitting with 3/8″ male
NPT threads. The hex nipple fitting is a short length of pipe with threaded
ends for connecting threaded pipes, and it has a hexagonal section in the
middle for an increased bearing surface when adjusting the fitting with a
wrench. It has male National Pipe Taper (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 fitting has an operating temperature range of
-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.
