Brass Fittings Hex Reducer Nipple NPT

The Brass Fittings Hex Reducer Nipple NPT is a brass pipe fitting. It connects two threaded pipe or fitting ports of different sizes. It is also called a hex reducing nipple or reducer nipple. It has male NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads on both ends. A hex center section lets you tighten it with a standard wrench.

Key Features:

• Brass construction resists corrosion and holds up well in plumbing and fluid-handling use
• Male NPT threads on both ends for a tapered, sealing thread connection
• Hex center section for wrench tightening
• Reduces from a larger thread size to a smaller one in a single compact fitting
• Suited to water, air and other general plumbing and fluid-transfer connections

Use thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male threads to help make a leak-free joint. Check that the fitting's material and pressure rating suit your system and the fluid it carries. Each size in this line is listed as its own variant.
