A hexagon nipple joins two female threaded fittings or pipe sections together, with two BSP male threads and a hexagonal centre section that gives a spanner or wrench something to grip during installation or removal. The 1/4" Galvanised Iron Hexagon Nipple does exactly this, made from malleable iron and hot-dip galvanised for corrosion resistance.
Manufactured to BS EN 10242, which replaces the older BS 143 and BS 1256 standards, this equal nipple is suitable for water, gas, LPG, oil, and air systems across domestic, commercial, agricultural, and industrial environments.
