What Is the GI Hex Nipple Used For?
A nipple is the short connector that links two female-threaded parts placed close together — for example a socket to a tee, a tee to an elbow, or a fitting to a tap or valve body on a ½" GI line. Plumbers use it when building manifolds, tap stands and short branch connections where a length of cut pipe would be impractical.
The hexagon in the middle gives a spanner something to grip, so each end can be tightened without damaging the threads. Because the threads are tapered, the joint becomes tighter as it is screwed in; wrap the threads with a suitable sealing tape or compound first, and avoid over-tightening, which can split the female fitting.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity of ½" hex nipples.

The Nipple Taper mthd Hex GI 14 Bar has a nominal diameter of ½" with external tapered male threads and a hexagon section. It is intended for ½" galvanized iron water pipe fittings that have female threads.
What pressure is the GI hex nipple rated for?
The GI hex nipple is rated for 14 bar, or 200 lb/sq inch. The working pressure of the finished line also depends on the other fittings, the pipe and the quality of each threaded joint, so all parts should suit your system.
Why does the nipple have a hexagon section?

What material and finish does the hex nipple have?
The hex nipple is made of malleable cast iron that is hot-dip galvanized and then threaded after galvanizing, so the tapered threads are clean and ready for sealing tape or compound when the fitting is installed.
