Overview

Galvanised Reducing Nipples for Mismatched Port Sizes in the UAE

A G.I. reducing nipple has a larger taper male thread on one end, a smaller one on the other, and a hexagon between them for spanner tightening. It is the male-to-male counterpart of a reducing socket and is used where two female ports of different sizes must be joined directly, for example a 1 inch tee outlet to a 3/4 inch valve. Using one piece instead of a nipple plus bush saves a joint and length.

Hamza Fasteners supplies galvanised reducing hex nipples from 1/2 x 1/4 inch up to 4 x 3 inch in BSPT thread, with NPT on request. They are used on valve trains, pump and meter connections, pressure switch and gauge mounting, and air treatment units. Send the two thread sizes to our Dubai counter for a quick quote.

FAQ

Common questions

When do I need a reducing nipple?
Use a reducing nipple when you must connect two female-threaded ports of different sizes directly, such as a 1 inch fitting to a 3/4 inch valve. It is shorter and has one fewer joint than a hex nipple plus a reducing bush.
Can a reducing nipple be used on gauge points?
Yes. Small reducing nipples such as 1/2 x 1/4 inch are commonly used to mount pressure gauges and switches onto larger tappings in tees or sockets. Seal with PTFE tape and avoid over-tightening into gauge sockets.
What reducing nipple sizes do you stock?
We stock popular combinations from 1/2 x 1/4 inch to 4 x 3 inch in BSPT, with NPT available. Send your list for less common sizes. Give the large and small thread sizes and the thread type.
How much does a G.I. reducing nipple cost in Dubai?
The price depends on the size combination, thread and quantity. Send your list on WhatsApp and Hamza Fasteners will reply with a quotation. Write each size as large end x small end, and say whether you need BSPT or NPT threads.
Do you deliver to the GCC and Africa?
Yes. We deliver across the UAE from Deira and export to Saudi Arabia, the GCC and Africa. Within the UAE we deliver to all emirates, and small urgent orders can be collected from our counter.
