Description

This 1/4″ High-Pressure Steel Hex Nipple is engineered to connect two 1/4″ female pipe threaded lines, ports, or fittings together in a straight line. Rated for an extreme 5,000 PSI, this forged carbon steel fitting features male threads on both ends and a central hex nut layout, providing an incredibly strong, leak-proof connection for demanding fluid systems.

Product Highlights

• Straight-Line Male Connection: Designed to cleanly bridge two 1/4″ FPT connection points without altering flow direction or reducing pipe volume.

• Extreme 5,000 PSI Capability: Forged from premium carbon steel to safely handle continuous heavy-duty operational pressures, intense hydraulic spikes, and fluid water-hammer shocks without weeping or cracking.

• Wrench-Friendly Hex Body: Precision-machined with a solid external hex profile in the center. This allows standard open-end wrenches, adjustable wrenches, or sockets to grip the fitting securely for maximum leverage and torque during tightening.

• Vibration & Fatigue Resistant: High tensile strength ensures the tapered NPT threads resist stripping, shearing, or backing out under the constant vibrations of commercial pumps and heavy machinery.

• Corrosion Protection: Finished with a durable zinc plating that shields the raw carbon steel from rust, moisture, and chemical exposure in rugged commercial wash and industrial environments.
