Pipe Nipples

Pipe nipples are short lengths of pipe with male threads on both ends, used to connect two threaded fittings or components at close distances. Available in a wide range of lengths from close nipples (threading from both ends meeting in the middle) to longer shoulder nipples (with unthreaded center sections), these essential components provide flexible spacing solutions in threaded piping systems. Their simplicity and versatility make them indispensable in virtually every threaded installation.

Manufactured from seamless or welded pipe in various materials and schedules, pipe nipples serve applications ranging from residential plumbing to industrial process systems. Standard configurations include close, shoulder, extra long, and barrel nipples, with specialized options like hex nipples and swage nipples for specific applications. The threaded connections allow for easy assembly and disassembly, making nipples ideal for maintenance access points and adjustable spacing requirements.
