A stainless pipe nipple is a short piece of pipe with male threads on one or both ends. It is commonly used to connect two other fittings or pipes. Manufactured from 304 or 316 stainless steel, it provides excellent resistance to corrosion, pressure, and high temperatures, making it ideal for demanding industrial use.
Choosing the right stainless nipple depends on several key factors:
304 stainless steel: General-purpose use
316 stainless steel: Enhanced resistance to chemicals and saltwater
NPT (National Pipe Thread): Common in North America
BSP (British Standard Pipe): Preferred in Europe and Asia
Close nipple – minimal unthreaded space
Hex nipple – includes a central hex for easy wrench tightening
Long nipple – for extended pipe runs
