King Nipple

A king nipple, also known as a KC nipple or a hose nipple, is a type of pipe fitting widely used in plumbing and fluid transfer applications. This fitting features male threads on both ends and a hexagonal middle section, resembling a thick hexagonal nut. King nipples are typically made from materials like stainless steel, brass, or galvanized steel to withstand corrosion and ensure durability. They are designed to provide a secure and leak-proof connection between hoses or pipes with female-threaded openings. King nipples are commonly used to connect hoses or pipes in applications such as fluid transfer, irrigation, and pneumatic systems. The hexagonal middle section allows for easy installation and tightening using a wrench, ensuring a tight and reliable seal.
