Seal Fast’s King Nipples, also known as KC Nipple or Combination Nipples, are essential hose fittings designed for connecting hoses to pipes, fittings, and other threaded components. These versatile connectors offer a range of benefits, making them ideal for various industries. Featuring a cylindrical design, male NPT threads on one side, and a barbed hose shank on the other, King Combination Nipples provide a reliable and secure connection for fluid handling systems.
Key Design Features
One of the standout features of King Combination Nipples is their practical design. The cylindrical shape of these connectors eliminates the need for a hex-shaped head between the pipe threads and hose barb end, providing a more compact and efficient form. On one side, the male NPT threads allow the King Combination Nipple to easily connect to corresponding female threads in piping systems. The other side features a barbed hose shank with multiple ridges that help securely grip hoses, preventing them from slipping off under pressure.
This combination of threaded connection and hose barb ensures a tight, leak-proof seal when properly installed, making King Combination Nipples an excellent choice for a wide range of fluid and material transfer applications.
Seal Fast’s King Combination Nipples are typically made from high-quality Stainless Steel 316. This material is known for its outstanding durability and resistance to corrosion, rust, and harsh environments. Seal Fast’s standard King Combination Nipples also have a working pressure of 200 PSI.
