About Our Hex Nipple and Adaptors

Hex nipples and adaptors for joining, extending, turning or branching a pipe or hose line, and for linking two different thread sizes. The range covers straight, 90-degree, T and hex patterns in small and large bores, so most layouts can be plumbed with standard parts.

Hex Nipple and Adaptors We Make

Small Nipple
01

Small Nipple

A compact threaded connector for tight spots and low-flow lines, with full-strength threads despite its size.

Sometimes the only space left for a connection is a few centimetres. The small nipple is made for those places, and for low-flow lines where a large bore would only add weight and cost. Its short body joins, extends or adapts a pipe or hose without giving up thread strength or sealing.

It is a common choice for gauge points, control lines and compact pneumatic setups, where space matters more than flow.

Key features

  • Short, compact body for cramped positions
  • Full-strength threads
  • Suits hydraulic and pneumatic lines
  • Choice of sizes and thread types
Big Nipple
02

Big Nipple

A large-bore threaded connector for high-flow hydraulic and industrial lines, where a smaller nipple would choke the flow.

Put a small connector in a high-flow line and it becomes a bottleneck. The oil speeds up through the restriction, the circuit runs hot and the machine feels sluggish. The big nipple avoids that with a wider bore and a heavier body, sized for main supply and return lines on larger hydraulic and industrial equipment.

We make it in several sizes and thread types so it can be matched to the pipe or hose already in place.

Key features

  • Wide bore for high flow with little pressure drop
  • Heavy body for demanding duty
  • Several sizes and thread types
  • Threads gauged before dispatch
L Nipple
03

L Nipple

A 90-degree elbow nipple that turns a line through a right angle, so hoses can clear obstacles without being bent too tightly.

Every hose has a minimum bend radius. Force one tighter than that and it starts to fail from the inside, long before any damage shows on the cover. The L nipple solves this by making the turn in metal instead of rubber: the line changes direction by 90 degrees right at the port, and the hose runs straight from there.

It is the fitting to reach for when a line has to route around a frame, a bracket or a neighbouring component, or when a port faces a wall.

Key features

  • 90-degree turn right at the port
  • Keeps hoses within their safe bend radius
  • Fits cramped mounting positions
  • Several sizes and thread types
T Nipple
04

T Nipple

A T-shaped nipple that splits one supply line into two, so a single source can feed two components.

When one pump or one air supply has to serve two cylinders, gauges or tools, the T nipple is the simplest way to do it. The line enters at one end and leaves through two branches, with no need to re-plumb the circuit.

Keep in mind that both branches share the flow of the incoming line. If both outlets will run at the same time, size the T for the combined demand. If you are unsure, tell us what it will feed and we will suggest a size.

Key features

  • One inlet, two outlets
  • Works in hydraulic and pneumatic circuits
  • Several sizes and thread types
  • Consistent thread fit across orders
Joint Nipple
05

Joint Nipple

A straight connector that joins two pipe or hose sections into one continuous line without leaks.

The joint nipple is the plainest fitting in our range and probably the one ordered most often. It joins two lengths of pipe or hose end to end, so a run can be extended or a damaged section replaced, and the flow carries on in a straight line.

Because it is used so widely, compatibility matters. We cut it to standard thread sizes so it fits the hoses and fittings found on most makes of equipment.

Key features

  • Straight-through flow path
  • Joins two sections into one line
  • Leak-free seal at the joint
  • Standard threads for wide compatibility
Hex Nipple
06

Hex Nipple

A nipple with a hexagon at its centre, so it can be tightened with a spanner for a secure, vibration-proof joint.

A fitting that can only be tightened by hand will work loose sooner or later on a vibrating machine. The hex nipple has a six-sided collar in the middle that takes a standard spanner, so it can be torqued down properly when it is fitted and held steady when the joint has to be opened again for servicing.

The flats suit common spanner sizes and the threads on both sides are gauged, so fitting and removal are quick and the nipple is not chewed up by a pipe wrench.

Key features

  • Hex collar for spanner tightening
  • Holds tight under vibration
  • Quicker fitting and servicing
  • Several sizes and thread types
Hex Adaptor
07

Hex Adaptor

A hex-bodied adaptor with a male thread on one end and a female thread on the other, for joining fittings of different sizes or thread types.

Not every port matches the hose or fitting you want to connect to it. The hex adaptor bridges that gap with a male thread on one end and a female thread on the other, so a pump, valve or cylinder port can take a fitting of a different size or thread type without changing the part itself.

Its hexagonal body takes a standard spanner, so the adaptor can be tightened down for a firm, leak-free joint that holds under vibration. The threads at both ends are cut accurately and seat cleanly. We make it in a wide range of sizes, from small gauge and control lines up to large high-flow connections, including reducing versions that step a line down from one size to the next.

Key features

  • Male thread on one end, female thread on the other
  • Joins fittings of different sizes or thread types
  • Hex body for spanner tightening and a vibration-resistant joint
  • Wide size range, including reducing adaptors
  • Suits hydraulic and pneumatic lines
