Barrel Nipple

A barrel nipple is a type of pipe fitting commonly used in plumbing and piping systems for connecting two pipes or fittings of the same diameter in a straight configuration. This cylindrical fitting features male threads on both ends, allowing it to be screwed into female-threaded openings on pipes or fittings. Barrel nipples are typically constructed from materials such as stainless steel, brass, or galvanized steel to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion. They are available in various lengths to accommodate different pipe connection requirements. Barrel nipples are often used in applications where a straight extension is needed, such as extending a pipeline, connecting valves or fittings, or joining sections of pipe in a straight line. Their threaded design enables easy installation and removal, making them versatile and practical components in plumbing and piping systems across various industries.
