First, I will introduce our factory before we start the formal content. SANVO is a pipe and pipe fitting manufacturer in China, and we have more than 10 years of production experience with pipes and a series of pipe fittings. Regardless of any related product you need, we provide customized and best service before and after-sales. We offer what you need in lengths and diameters, which can bring greater convenience.
1. Hex nipple
-
Except for the external threads at both ends, the central part is hexagonal, which provides an additional gripping surface.
-
Thanks to the hexagonal design,
the user can use a wrench to tighten, thus applying more torque, which is crucial for tight connections. Suitable for use in high-pressure environments or where additional sealing is required. -
They are widely disassembly and installation processes, such as mechanical equipment, pumps, valves, and other connections. It is also suitable for applications that require strong connections in piping systems.
-
The hexagonal structure improves the reliability of the connection, especially in the environment of vibration or pressure fluctuations. Provides better fastening options to help reduce the risk of leakage.
2. Close nipple
-
The close nipple is a short tube with external threads of equal size at both ends. The length is generally short in length, usually within a few centimeters,
which is easy to use in situations where space is limited. -
Screw it directly into two pipes or fittings with internal threads. Because the design is simple, no additional tools are required, and manually tighten or secure with a wrench directly.
-
They are commonly used in domestic or industrial piping systems to connect two pipes of the same diameter. It is suitable for gas and liquid delivery systems, such as water, air conditioning pipes, etc.
-
Close nipples provide a reliable connection, ideal for systems that do not require frequent disassembly. They are simple structures and relatively low cost.
3. Summary
Whether you choose Close Nipple or Hex Nipple depends on your specific application needs:
A close nipple is a suitable choice if your connection location is tight and does not require frequent disassembly.
Hex Nipple is more suitable if your application requires higher connection strength and may require regular maintenance or replacement of parts.
In the selection, the material of the pipeline, working pressure, fluid type, and other factors should also ensure the suitability and safety of the selected parts.
