They play a crucial role in connecting two plumbing components, such as pipes, valves, or fittings, to ensure a leak-free and secure flow of liquids or gases. Whether you’re installing a new water system or repairing an existing one, these small but essential components are indispensable.

Understanding the different types of pipe nipples can help you choose the right one for your project. Here are some of the common types we offer:

Designed to connect pipes or fittings of different diameters, reducing nipples simplify transitions in your plumbing system.

Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, PVC nipples are excellent for non-metallic applications, such as irrigation and drainage systems.

Renowned for their durability and resistance to rust, stainless steel nipples are perfect for high-pressure and high-temperature environments.

The material of your pipe nipple significantly affects its performance and longevity. At Supply Online, we stock pipe nipples made from:

Choosing the Right Pipe Nipple 

When selecting pipe nipples, consider the following factors:

Pipe nipples typically follow NPT (National Pipe Thread) standards. Ensure compatibility with the other components in your system. 

  1. Material Compatibility

Select materials that are compatible with the fluids or gases being transported. For example: 

  • Use stainless steel for corrosive substances. 
  • Opt for PVC for non-metallic systems.

Always check the pressure and temperature limits of the pipe nipple to ensure it can handle the demands of your application.

Choose the correct length and diameter based on your project’s specifications.

FAQs About Pipe Nipples

Close nipples have threads covering almost the entire body, while standard nipples have a smooth section between the threads for added length and flexibility.

Brass pipe nipples are typically used for water systems. For gas lines, black steel nipples are recommended due to their durability and safety. 

  1. How do I measure the length of a pipe nipple?

Measure the length from one threaded end to the other, excluding the threads themselves.
