Home / Products / Forged Fittings / Hex Nipple
For essential connections in many industries, Hex Nipples from Fortis Forge are renowned for their high tensile strength, precise threading, and superior resistance to pressure and corrosion. These forged components ensure reliable and leak-proof performance, manufactured in accordance with ASTM A105, ASME B16.11, and applicable DIN standards. Crafted from carbon steel or mild steel, our hex nipples exhibit excellent mechanical integrity, making them suitable for high-stress and high-pressure piping applications.
The premium-grade material and precision forging process deliver exceptional resistance to wear, oxidation, and harsh industrial environments. Ideal for connecting two female threaded fittings or valves, hex nipples are designed for indoor and outdoor usage, offering durable, tight-sealing, and efficient performance across diverse sectors like oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, and marine operations.
A Threaded/Socket Weld Hex Nipple is a short pipe segment with male threads or socket weld ends on both sides, and a hexagonal section in the center. The hex allows easy tightening with a wrench, making it ideal for piping systems that require a secure, leak-free connection between two female fittings or components.
Features male threads on both ends, enabling fast, tool-assisted assembly without welding. Ideal for temporary, adjustable, or maintenance-heavy installations where disconnection may be needed.
Designed with socket weld ends for strong, permanent joints. Pipes are inserted into the sockets and then welded, ensuring high-pressure performance and leak resistance.
Hex Nipples play a crucial role in connecting different sections of a pipeline while providing strength, compactness, and easy installation.
At Fortis Forge, our Hex Nipples are precision-manufactured using:
Carbon Steel (ASTM A105)
→ Known for high tensile strength, excellent machinability, and pressure resistance. Ideal for high-stress environments.
Mild Steel (IS 2062)
→ Economical, easy to fabricate, and suitable for low-pressure, general-use piping applications.
All components are produced to meet rigorous dimensional and quality standards, ensuring:
Every Hex Nipple undergoes:
Precision CNC machining & hot forging
