1/8 in (6 mm) Hexagon Nipple, BSPT, Black | PN06B
Available
This AAP hexagon nipple is a forged carbon steel fitting with BSPT thread and a black finish. It is supplied in 11 sizes, 1/8 in (6 mm) to 3 in (80 mm).
A hexagon nipple has a thread at each end and a hexagon in the middle for a spanner. It joins two female threaded fittings of the same size. A is its overall length and C is the width of the hexagon, as lettered on the AAP drawing.
AAP rates its threaded high pressure fittings at 3000 lb (manufacturer-stated). AAP's pressure and temperature chart for screwed and socket welding fittings lists 3000 lb fittings at 3000 psi (about 20.7 MPa) from -20 to 100 degrees F (-29 to 38 degrees C), reducing to 355 psi (about 2.4 MPa) at 1000 degrees F (538 degrees C). AAP lists ASTM A105 carbon steel forgings among the standards for the range.
