Hose Nipple
What is a Hose Nipple?
A Hose Nipple is a threaded fitting machined from solid bar stock, used to connect flexible hoses to rigid piping systems. One end features male pipe threads, while the other is a barbed or smooth shank to securely grip the hose using clamps or ferrules.
Hose nipples are ideal for air, gas, steam, oil, and fluid transfer lines across various industries like agriculture, marine, industrial plants, and chemical facilities.
Key Features
- Thread-to-Hose Connection – Ideal for joining flexible hoses to threaded pipelines.
- Secure Hose Grip – Barbed shank design allows tight clamping.
- Wide Thread Compatibility – Available in NPT, BSP, BSPT, ISO threads.
- Machined for Durability – Solid bar stock construction ensures long service life.
- Meets International Standards – ASME, ASTM, and DIN compliant.

Do you have questions?
What is the purpose of a hose nipple?
It connects a flexible hose to a threaded pipe or valve using a barbed or smooth shank.
Do you provide hose nipples in SS 316?
Yes, we offer them in SS 304, SS 316, and other corrosion-resistant alloys.
How are hose nipples secured to hoses?
Using hose clamps, crimp ferrules, or bands depending on pressure and fluid type.
Are hose nipples leak-proof?
Yes, when properly clamped and sealed, they provide reliable, leak-resistant performance.
