A king nipple is a type of pipe nipple. Its most characteristic feature is that one end has a male thread to connect to the female threaded pipe, and the other male thread is a hose connector, making it convenient for connecting to the hose pipe and fittings.
The king nipple pipe does not feature a hex nut between the threaded section and the hose shank; it has a smooth pipe fitting.
The king nipple pipe fitting is widely used in pipelines, valves, and other equipment. However, we do not recommend the king combination nipple for steam systems. Its work pressure varies depending on the construction of the hose tube, system type, and application. If you encounter any problems, leave a message in the background, and we will respond promptly.
Combination nipples or sometimes referred to as king nipples, are an extremely versatile way of transitioning from hose pipe to threads. The end connections are for fluid service only and should not be used for air service or steam service. The most common connection is MPT but you can also find them with female NPT (National Pipe Thread), flanged or a blank beveled end for welding. Combination nipples are sometimes confused with male adapters as they look quite similar, but male adapters are designed for polyethylene pipe.
