Hex Nipple

Stainless Steel Gaskets

The forged fitting Hex Nipple is a vital component in piping systems, designed to connect two pipes or fittings together. With its hexagonal shape in the center, it provides an easy grip for installation and removal using a wrench or other tools. This component is commonly used in various industrial applications, including oil and gas, chemical processing, and construction.


Manufactured from high-quality forged steel, the hex nipple ensures exceptional strength and resistance to high pressures and extreme temperatures. It adheres to rigorous international standards, such as ASTM, ASME, and DIN, guaranteeing superior performance and longevity. The precise engineering of the forged fitting hex nipple ensures a secure and leak-proof connection, maintaining the integrity of the piping system under demanding conditions.
