How to choose

• Equal nipples join same-size female ends; reducing nipples step down in the same move.
• Check the thread standard both ends – BSPT and NPT look alike and do not seal together.
• Buy a few spares of your common sizes – nipples are the fitting that always runs out mid-job.
• Not sure? Call us and we will confirm the size.

Technicians Advice

Tapered nipples seal on the thread: liquid sealant or PTFE tape, wound with the thread direction, keeping the first two threads bare so shreds cannot enter the system. Torque by feel, not by fear – a taper tightens progressively and over-driving it splits female ports, especially aluminium housings and pump bodies. Into alloy, go easy and let the sealant do the work; a stripped pump port costs a lot more than a weeping joint.
