Hydraulic Nipple Fittings

Hydraulic nipple fittings are connectors used in hydraulic engineering to join hydraulic hoses or pipes together. There are various types of nipple fittings, differing in size, thread, and design.

Common thread types include metric light and metric heavy, both having a 24° cone, while BSPP features a 60° cone. In contrast to other common thread types with a straight standard thread, the NPT thread is tapered, aiding in sealing. JIC has a 74° cone. Metric light, metric heavy, BSPP, and JIC nipple fittings are suitable for applications requiring high pressures, whereas NPT nipple fittings are used for applications requiring the highest pressures.

Offset nipple fittings are another variant available in 90° and 45° angles. These types of nipple fittings are used to connect hoses and pipes in areas with limited access where a straight connection is not possible.

It's essential to select the right type and size of nipple fitting for each application to ensure a secure and reliable connection. Incorrect selection or improper use can lead to leaks and other issues.

Overall, hydraulic nipple fittings are crucial connectors in hydraulic engineering and must be carefully chosen and used to ensure the safety and reliability of the application.
