Brass Hose Nipple

Product Description

A Brass Hose Nipple (also known as a King Nipple or Hose Barb Nipple) is a heavy-duty industrial fitting designed to transition from a rigid pipe or valve to a flexible hose. It features a male or female threaded end on one side and a multi-serrated "barb" on the other to grip the interior of the hose.

Key Features & Advantages

• Superior Grip: The precision-machined barbs (serrations) provide high friction, ensuring the hose stays secure even under pressure when used with a hose clamp.

• Material Integrity: Manufactured from high-quality brass for excellent machinability and resistance to rust and corrosion in damp environments.

• Temperature Resistance: Capable of maintaining structural integrity in both high-heat and freezing conditions, unlike plastic alternatives.

• Low Maintenance: Naturally spark-resistant and durable enough for repeated installation and removal in industrial settings.

Primary Applications

• Pneumatic Systems: Connecting air compressors to flexible rubber or PVC air lines.

• Fluid Transfer: Widely used in water pumps, irrigation systems, and beverage dispensing.

• Fuel & Oil Lines: Securely connecting fuel tanks to engines in automotive or marine applications.

• Chemical Processing: Handling non-corrosive chemicals in manufacturing plants.
