316 Stainless Steel Male/Male BSPT Hexagon Nipple – 1/8" & 1/4"


Compact 316 stainless steel screwed equal hexagon nipple designed for connecting two female BSPT threaded components in pneumatic, water, gas and general industrial pipework.

Available in 1/8" and 1/4" BSPT male × male, the central hexagon allows straightforward tightening with a conventional spanner while the tapered male threads provide a secure threaded connection.

Manufactured from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel, these fittings are particularly suitable where greater chemical, environmental or temperature resistance is required than conventional brass or plated steel pneumatic fittings.

316 Stainless Steel Construction

The 316 stainless steel construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion and makes the fitting suitable for demanding industrial environments and applications involving compatible liquids and gases.
Unlike nickel-plated brass pneumatic fittings, the complete fitting body is stainless steel, making it particularly useful for stainless steel valve installations and process equipment.

Suitable Media & Applications
Suitable for compatible applications including:
✓ Compressed Air
✓ Hot & Cold Water
✓ Natural Gas
✓ LPG
✓ Steam
✓ Vacuum
✓ Oils & Fuels
✓ Non-Aggressive Gases
✓ Compatible Process Fluids
Media compatibility should always be checked against 316 stainless steel and the sealing materials used elsewhere within the installation.

Typical Applications
✓ Solenoid Valves
✓ Pneumatic Valves
✓ Valve Manifolds
✓ Pressure Regulators
✓ FRL Air Treatment Equipment
✓ Gas Valve Installations
✓ Water Systems
✓ Process Equipment
✓ Instrumentation
✓ OEM Machinery
✓ Stainless Steel Pipework

Installation
The BSPT tapered thread requires suitable thread sealing, normally PTFE tape or an appropriate liquid/thread sealant selected for the operating media.
The integral hexagon provides a convenient spanner surface, allowing the nipple to be securely installed without gripping or damaging the threaded sections.
