CPVC Hex Nipple

Description

The CPVC Hex Nipple is a small but highly useful component in a threaded CPVC piping system. Made from durable chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this fitting is expertly engineered to provide a secure and leak-proof connection between two female threaded fittings, such as a valve and a tank connector, or a tee and a union. The hexagonal section in the center allows a wrench to be used for easy and secure tightening, ensuring a reliable joint.

Uses:

• Connecting Female Threaded Fittings: The primary use of a hex nipple is to join two components that both have female threaded inlets or outlets. It is a fundamental part for creating a continuous and secure pipeline.

• Creating a Transition: It can be used to connect different types of fittings, such as a CPVC valve to a metal fitting, as long as both have compatible female threads.

• Tightening Connections: The hexagonal shape allows for a wrench to be used, which ensures that the fitting is tightened to the correct torque, creating a secure and leak-proof seal without overtightening.

Advantages:

• Secure and Leak-Proof Connection: The male threads on both ends, when properly sealed with a pipe thread sealant, create a tight, reliable connection that is resistant to leaks.

• High Durability and Longevity: As a CPVC fitting, it is completely resistant to rust, corrosion, and the chemicals found in water supplies. This robust construction ensures a long service life and high reliability.

• High Temperature and Pressure Resistance: Like other CPVC fittings, it is designed to handle hot and cold water applications, withstanding temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) and maintaining durability under a wide range of operating pressures.

• Simplified Installation: The hex section simplifies installation and removal, allowing for easy tightening and future maintenance or replacement.
