Overview

Brass Hex Nipples for Compressed Air Lines

A brass hexagon nipple is the connector used to join two female threaded parts back to back: a filter regulator to a lubricator, a manifold port to a quick coupling, or a ball valve to a hose fitting. The hex lets you tighten it with an ordinary spanner. Brass is preferred on air lines because it resists the moisture carried in compressed air and does not gall when fittings are made up and broken repeatedly.

Hamza Fasteners stocks equal and reducing brass hex nipples from 1/8" to 1" in BSP and NPT threads. Check which thread your equipment uses, since BSP and NPT look alike but do not mate reliably. Tapered BSPT and NPT threads seal on the thread with PTFE tape or sealant, while parallel BSPP versions seal on a bonded washer or O-ring. Nickel-plated nipples are available where a brighter, more corrosion-resistant finish is wanted. Contact our Deira, Dubai branch for a quote.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I use a BSP nipple in an NPT port?
Not reliably. The thread angle and pitch differ in most sizes, so the joint may seem to tighten but leak under pressure. Match the nipple thread to the port. If you are unsure, bring a sample to our store.
What is the difference between equal and reducing hex nipples?
An equal nipple has the same thread size on both ends. A reducing nipple has a different size each end, for example 1/2" x 1/4", to join two ports of different size.
What range of brass hex nipples do you stock?
Equal and reducing nipples from 1/8" to 1" in BSP and NPT threads, plain brass and nickel-plated. Reducing nipples cover common steps such as 1/2" x 1/4" and 3/8" x 1/4", and we can match them to bushings and couplings for a complete air line.
How much does a brass hex nipple cost in Dubai?
It depends on size, thread type and quantity. Send your list on WhatsApp and we will quote with your other air fittings. Nickel-plated and NPT versions are priced separately from plain BSP.
Do you deliver brass fittings across the UAE and GCC?
Yes. We deliver within the UAE and dispatch to KSA, the GCC and Africa. Brass fittings can be packed with hose, clamps and couplings on one order. Small parts are bagged by size.
