Application and Purpose
This black steel close nipple connects two female NPT ports in hydraulic, pneumatic or steam systems. It suits installers and maintenance teams who need a short, rigid link rated for high-pressure service.
Build and Connection
The Schedule 80 seamless tube has a 9/64 in wall and 53/64 in outside diameter for mechanical strength. Both ends carry MNPT threads to ANSI/ASME B 1.20.1 so the joint seals without welding or flanges.
Pressure and Temperature Limits
Rated 2000 psi at 150 degrees F and 300 psi steam at 550 degrees F per ASTM A106 and A733. The heavy wall contains pressure spikes while the steel body resists thermal cycling in normal industrial use.
