A Barrel Nipple is a straight threaded pipe fitting designed to connect two female-threaded pipes or fittings, providing a secure and extended connection within a piping system. Unlike a hex nipple, a barrel nipple features a smooth outer surface without a hexagonal center, offering a clean and streamlined appearance. It typically has male threads on both ends with an unthreaded center section, allowing for proper thread engagement and a strong, leak-resistant joint.
Manufactured from high-quality materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, and malleable iron, barrel nipples are built to withstand high pressure, temperature variations, and corrosive environments. Precision-machined threads ensure tight sealing and reliable performance when used with compatible threaded components.
Barrel nipples are widely used in plumbing systems, oil and gas pipelines, HVAC installations, fire protection networks, compressed air systems, and general industrial piping. They are suitable for transporting water, oil, gas, steam, air, and other compatible fluids. Designed to meet standard threading specifications such as BSP and NPT, these fittings ensure easy compatibility with commonly used threaded pipes and accessories.
Available in a variety of lengths, diameters, pressure ratings, and finishes including galvanized, black, and polished options, our Barrel Nipples provide a durable, cost-effective, and efficient solution for extending pipe runs or creating secure threaded connections in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
