Product Description
A threaded pipe nipple fitting is a piece of pipe with a male threads on either end. Also called barrel nipples, tubing nipples and nipples for plumbing. Threaded nipples are widely used in plumbing and industrial applications where they are used to connect pipes, fittings, or equipment. The are made with male threads on either end which enable them to be screwed into female threaded fittings and equipment for a secure water-tight connection. Nipple pipe is available in a variety of lengths and diameters and facilitate fluid transfer in applications ranging from water distribution and heating systems to fuel & oil as well as food & beverage applications. These threaded nipples are constructed out of stainless steel 304, making them robust and corrosion resistant which ensures long-term reliability and minimal maintenance. (Also available in stainless steel 316 for special orders.) Nipple fittings are used to connect piping and threaded fittings of the same diameter. This nipple pipe connector is often used for extending pipe lengths and for connecting pipes to threaded fittings, valves, pumps and other equipment components. They are also classified under the term "stainless steel nipples" which include hex and close nipples made from the same material.
Product Parameters
Connect a wide array of pipes and fittings with pipe nipples from MSC. We arrange our pipe nipples by material, giving you options for a variety of applications, including brass, aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized and plastic. Each pipe nipple type comes in a range of lengths, pipe sizes and thread styles to give you enough options to find what you need. Choose an individual nipple for a specific task or pick one out from pipe nipple sets.
Material & Standard
When selecting pipe nipples, material compatibility is crucial as it ensures the durability and reliability of piping systems. Incompatible materials can lead to corrosion, leaks, and system failures, jeopardizing safety and operational efficiency. Here are the characteristics of different materials for pipe nipples:
- Aluminum
- Advantages: Highly effective for lightweight and corrosion - resistant applications.
- Disadvantages: Unsuitable for high - strength requirements or in environments with alkaline or acidic conditions.
- Black and Galvanized Steel
- Advantages: Both are ideal for gas and water lines.
- Differences: Galvanized nipples, which are rust - resistant, are better adapted to damp, acidic, or highly alkaline environments compared to black steel.
- Brass
- Advantages: Generally resistant to water corrosion, making it very suitable for hot - water systems and other environments with a high risk of water corrosion.
- Disadvantages: Can be more expensive than other materials.
- Stainless Steel
- Advantages: Resistant to corrosion from a wide range of temperatures and chemicals, making it perfect for tasks in harsh environments.
- Disadvantages: Similar to brass, it can be costly.
- Plastic
- Advantages: Resistant to chemicals in low - pressure environments.
- Disadvantages: Less effective when operating under high temperatures.

FAQ
1. What materials are available for your pipe fittings products?
Our pipe fittings products come in a rich variety of materials, covering stainless steel 304, 316, carbon steel, alloy steel, etc., which can meet the needs of different customers in terms of corrosion resistance, strength and other aspects. The types of pipe fittings are complete, including elbows (conventional angles such as 45 degrees and 90 degrees), tees (equal diameter, reducing), crosses, pipe caps, reducers (concentric, eccentric), etc., providing you with a one-stop solution for all kinds of pipe fitting requirements. The product size range is extensive. The outer diameter ranges from 1/2 inch to 48 inches, and the wall thickness, depending on the material and specific application scenarios, ranges from 1 mm to 30 mm. For detailed specifications, you can contact us at any time to obtain detailed information.
2. What are the quality standards for pipe fittings products?
We strictly adhere to internationally recognized quality standards in the production of pipe fittings products, such as ANSI B16.9 (American National Standards Institute Pipe Fittings Standard), ASME B16.5 (American Society of Mechanical Engineers Flange Standard), GB/T 12459 (Chinese National Standard for Pipe Fittings Dimensions), etc., ensuring precise control over every stage from the procurement of raw materials to the delivery of finished products. During the raw material inspection process, we utilize advanced spectrometers to conduct composition tests on each batch of steel, preventing substandard raw materials from entering the production line. In the production process, there are multiple rounds of process inspections, and high-precision measuring tools are used to monitor dimensional accuracy in real-time. Before the finished products leave the factory, there are also 100% pressure tests and visual inspections to comprehensively guarantee the quality.
3. Have the products passed relevant international certifications, such as ISO 9001?
Yes, our company has fully passed the ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certification. Moreover, some high-end pipe fittings products have additionally obtained certifications like PED (Pressure Equipment Directive of the European Union) and API (American Petroleum Institute). These certifications indicate that our products possess outstanding quality competitiveness not only in the domestic market but also in the international market. The relevant certification certificates can be queried and downloaded on our official website, and you can also request paper copies to be included with the goods for inspection when placing an order.
4. What industries and fields are these pipe fittings products applicable to?
Pipe fittings products have an extremely wide range of application fields, almost covering the entire industrial sector. In the petrochemical industry, they are used to transport various corrosive, high-temperature and high-pressure chemical raw materials. In the power industry, they are employed to build the water and steam circulation pipeline systems for equipment such as boilers and steam turbines. In the field of building water supply and drainage, they ensure the smooth flow of water for residents' use and drainage. In the natural gas transmission projects, they connect different sections of the transmission pipelines to ensure the safe supply of gas. Different materials and specifications of pipe fittings play their respective roles according to specific scenarios. For example, carbon steel pipe fittings are commonly used in general industrial pressure pipelines, while stainless steel pipe fittings shine in industries with high hygiene requirements such as food and pharmaceutical industries.
5. Compared with the pipe fittings products of other brands, what are the advantages of your products?
Compared with other brands, our pipe fittings products have significant advantages. Firstly, in terms of quality, relying on a strict quality control system and advanced testing equipment, we ensure that our products are of excellent quality. Secondly, in terms of price, by optimizing the production process and making large-scale purchases of raw materials, we reduce costs and provide more cost-effective products. Thirdly, our customized services are flexible and diverse, enabling us to quickly respond to special customer requirements.

6. What's the approximate delivery time?
The transportation mode can be flexibly selected according to customers' needs. We cooperate with several well-known logistics companies, covering sea freight, air freight, land transportation and so on. Sea freight has a relatively low cost and is suitable for transporting large quantities of goods. The transportation time generally ranges from 15 to 45 days depending on the destination. Air freight is the fastest, usually taking 3 to 7 days to arrive, but it is costly and is applicable to urgent small-batch and high-value goods. Land transportation is often used for domestic short-distance transportation or transportation to neighboring countries, which is relatively convenient. The transportation cost is calculated comprehensively based on the weight, volume, transportation distance and transportation mode of the goods. When you place an order, we will provide a detailed freight estimate to ensure that you clearly understand the cost. In terms of delivery time, for in-stock products, they will be shipped within 3 days after payment. For non-in-stock conventional products, they will generally be shipped within 7 to 15 days depending on the order quantity. For customized products, the delivery time will be arranged according to the production period in the customization process.
