1/4 in (8 mm) Black Close Nipple | SPN08CL
Available
This AAP black close 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 close nipple is the shortest nipple: it is threaded for its full length, so two female threaded fittings can be joined with almost no gap. AAP lists the black version in heavy pipe. 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 has a black finish. 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. AAP lists the black close nipple in heavy pipe; its galvanised version is listed in medium pipe. AAP also lists the galvanised version (SPN08CLG, SPN10CLG, SPN15CLG, SPN20CLG, SPN25CLG, SPN32CLG, SPN40CLG, SPN50CLG, SPN65CLG, SPN80CLG, SPN94CLG) in this range, which AIMS does not currently list. Ask if you need one.
