Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are these reducing hexagon nipples made from?
They are made from high-grade brass, offering excellent corrosion resistance and durability in marine environments.
What thread standards are available?
We offer NPT and BSPT threads. Please indicate your required standard and size when placing an order.
Can these nipples be used with seawater?
Standard brass is suitable for fresh water and many fluids. For seawater applications, we recommend a dezincification-resistant alloy or bronze; contact us for custom options.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the thread sizes (outside diameter) of the two pipes you need to connect. Select a reducing nipple with matching male threads, e.g., 1/2" NPT on one end and 3/8" NPT on the other.
