What is a King Nipple?

A king nipple is a type of pipe nipple. Its most characteristic feature is that one end has a male thread to connect to the female threaded pipe, and the other male thread is a hose connector, making it convenient for connecting to the hose pipe and fittings.

The king nipple pipe does not feature a hex nut between the threaded section and the hose shank; it has a smooth pipe fitting.

1. Where is the King Nipple Pipe needed?

The king nipple pipe fitting is widely used in pipelines, valves, and other equipment. However, we do not recommend the king combination nipple for steam systems. Its work pressure varies depending on the construction of the hose tube, system type, and application. If you encounter any problems, leave a message in the background, and we will respond promptly.

2. How to install King Nipple?

The threaded part of the nipple connects with the same size female pipe thread or female thread fitting.

The hose shank needs the hose pipe to be connected.

3. Sizes

King nipple pipe sizes range from 1/4 to 4 inches. However, we can offer customized pipe sizes manufacturing to meet specific customer needs.

You must notice that you connect the same-size tube or pipe fittings when using a king nipple. For example, the 1" king nipple will connect to a 1-inch flexible hose pipe and make the other end thread into a 1" threaded pipe.

4. What other names does it have?

Besides "king nipple," this common name, the king nipple is also called:

KC nipple

King fitting

Combination nipple.

5. What material Combination Nipple is?

304, 316 stainless steel.

304 stainless steel can be resistant to the majority of corrosion from chemical substances and the environment.

Economical than other high materials, 304 stainless steel has a lower cost but outstanding properties and is a higher-cost performance option.

It is suitable for the majority of un-extreme applications.

316 stainless steel resistant to more chemical corrosion.

In high temperature or pressure conditions, 316 stainless steel still sustains stability.

316 stainless steel conforms to safety standards and is usually used in food processing.

Ss pipe fittings have excellent mechanical strength and withstand long-term use without damage; the stainless steel smooth surface makes it not easy to attach dirt and is easy to clean and maintain; stainless steel material can be recycled use, which reduces waste. Whether 304 or 316 stainless steel, the stainless steel pipe fittings can provide excellent performance and durability.

6. Why choose KC nipple and not another?

King combination nipple is a simple and highly effective pipe connector, and its design makes the installation so easy: standard threaded in one end that can screw directly into the pipe; another one is a hose connection. KC nipple does not have complex parts and just be tightened when installing, saving time and effort and getting started quickly even with a new hand.

The combination nipple has nice sealing and precision machining threaded, making it perfectly fit into the pipeline, preventing valid liquid or gas leaks. Whether a high-pressure stream or corrosive chemical, it ensures safety system operation and prevents damage and danger from leaks.

King nipple fittings use 304 or 316 stainless steel, which provides exceptional corrosion resistance and durability. This ensures a long service life. These fittings have stable performance and reduce replacement frequency and cost in long-term use, whether in a wet environment, chemical industry, or high pressure and temperature conditions.

Its application is extensive, not just pipeline connections but also petroleum and natural gas. Notably, the stainless steel king nipple is particularly secure for the food industry. Whatever industry, architecture, or construction, it provides highly effective and safe connections.

Moreover, the low price of 1" king nipple. It is durable, which means no replacement frequency or maintenance while maintaining quality, saving time and money. If your project has a special need, we can offer customized services to meet your requirements.

7. More Information

The combination nipple, called KC nipple, connected to flexible hose pipes, pipelines, nipples, and other fittings, is used in liquid transportation systems. This nipple of a female thread and a hose shank makes the stainless steel king nipple more solid, anti-corrosion and ensures their use life in multiple environments. The threaded part achieves waterproof sealing. The king fitting is commonly used in petroleum, industry, agriculture, and other businesses, providing a reliable connection for various liquid transportation systems.
