Description

Product Overview

The FloFlex Straight Brass Metric Hex Nipple is engineered to deliver a secure, leak‑free connection for a wide range of industrial and scientific applications. Crafted from high‑quality brass, each nipple features a precisely machined 1/8″ male BSPT thread on both ends, ensuring a tight fit with compatible fittings and pipe sections. The metric hex design provides a robust grip for easy installation using standard tools, while the brass material offers excellent resistance to corrosion, temperature extremes, and mechanical wear. With a compact size of 0.42 x 0.42 x 0.77 inches and a lightweight profile of just 13.61 g per piece, this fitting is ideal for space‑constrained assemblies. The product is supplied in a convenient 2‑pack, allowing users to stock up on essential components for ongoing projects or maintenance tasks.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the straight brass metric hex nipple excels in hydraulic, refrigeration, and natural‑gas systems where reliable sealing and durability are paramount. It is compatible with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipes, making it a go‑to choice for multi‑material installations. Typical use cases include connecting pressure regulators, valves, and sensors in fluid control circuits, as well as integrating with LP gas lines and refrigeration loops. The nipple’s operating temperature range of –65 °F to 250 °F and maximum pressure rating of 250 psi enable it to perform under demanding conditions, from low‑temperature cryogenic environments to high‑temperature industrial processes. For applications involving potable water, a pipe sealant is recommended to enhance leak resistance, though the product is not intended for direct potable water use.
