Available
This AAP galvanised barrel nipple is a mild steel fitting with BSP threads. It is supplied in 11 sizes, 1/4 in (8 mm) to 4 in (100 mm).
A barrel nipple is a length of pipe with a male thread at each end. It joins two female threaded fittings and gives a spacing set by its length. AAP lists it in heavy pipe, in several lengths per size. A is the overall length, as lettered on the AAP drawing.
AAP states that its steel threaded pipe fittings are made to BS EN 10241:2000 (manufacturer-stated). It is galvanised. AAP does not state the galvanising process or coating thickness for this item. AAP states that all sizes of its fittings other than unions are sample tested to 5.2 MPa (manufacturer-stated). These are test pressures, not working pressures, so confirm the pressure and temperature for your application with AIMS before you order.

Selecting the right option
Choose the size to match your pipework. These fittings are BSP threaded, so check that your pipe or fitting is BSP and not NPT before you order. Each size is listed in the lengths AAP makes, so check the length (A) as well as the thread size.
