KonstruktIt Galvanised Hex Nipple

Description

A hex nipple joins two female-threaded fittings, such as a tap and a socket. The hexagon in the middle lets you hold it with a spanner while tightening, which a plain barrel nipple does not allow. Pick the size to match the female threads you are joining.

Galvanised malleable iron fittings are zinc-coated to resist rust and are used on threaded galvanised water lines, garden taps and irrigation risers. Wrap male threads with PTFE tape or hemp and paste before assembly, and do not over-tighten into cast fittings.

Used for:

• Garden tap risers and standpipes
• Repairs to old galvanised water lines
• Borehole, tank and irrigation connections

Not for gas lines unless the installation is done and certified by a registered gas installer.

Sold each.
