What is a Threaded/Socket Weld Hex Nipple?

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.

Threaded Hex Nipple:

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.

Socket Weld Hex Nipple:

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.
