Stainless Steel Close Nipple Description:

This is an NPT male-to-male close nipple for joining two NPT female fittings, the threads are tapered to seal. While it may appear fully-threaded, NPT fittings will not thread completely into another fitting.

This close nipple is made from 304 stainless steel. Since it is a close nipple, it features all threads on both sides unlike the other types of nipples, thus there is no space in between the threads.

Close nipples are difficult to work with. A close nipple can only be unscrewed by gripping one threaded end with a pipe wrench which will damage the threads and necessitate replacing the nipple. So, a close nipple can only be unscrewed by using a specialty tool known as a nipple wrench (or an internal pipe wrench) which grips the inside of the pipe, leaving the threads undamaged.
