PATIKIL 3/8" SAE Flare x 3/8" NPT Brass Hex Nipple, 4-Pack
Product description
For joining threaded pipe sections in a water-line or other listed pipeline setup, the PATIKIL hex nipple provides a direct brass connection between 3/8" SAE flare and 3/8" NPT male ends. Need a thread-to-thread link that can also extend a pipe run? Its hex profile gives a practical point to grip while tightening. The four-pack is useful when a project calls for several matching fittings.
Tech specs
- Type: Hex nipple pipe fitting and thread adapter
- Material: Brass
- Colour: Gold
- Connections: 3/8" Flare SAE male x 3/8" NPT male
- Thread type: NPT
- Fitting size: 17 x 33 mm (D x L)
- Maximum working pressure: 1200 PSI
- Pack quantity: 4 fittings
The male-to-male design joins internally threaded connections of the same diameter, helping create a continuous threaded link or extend a pipe length. Brass construction is described for its sealing properties, corrosion resistance, high-temperature ductility and low magnetic permeability. These material qualities make the fitting suitable for a range of listed pipeline settings, including grease, fuel and gas systems, refrigeration, instrumentation and hydraulic connections for low- and medium-pressure applications. Match both ends to the connection types required by the installation.
Practical tips
Before fitting, make sure the threads are clean and free of debris or damage. Apply a suitable thread sealant or thread tape to support the seal, these sealing materials are not included. Tighten the adapter securely with appropriate tools and technique, taking care not to overtighten and damage the fitting or threads.
Once installed, include the connection in routine checks for wear, leaks or corrosion. Promptly replace a fitting that shows damage or wear to help maintain the integrity of the pipeline connection. For any application, use the fitting within its stated maximum working pressure and follow the requirements for the system being assembled.
What’s included
The pack contains four brass hex nipple pipe fittings. Having multiple matching pieces on hand can help when a project needs several connections of the same size, or when preparing fittings for more than one section of a pipeline.
Questions before you buy
What connection sizes does this adapter use? It has a 3/8" male SAE flare end and a 3/8" male NPT end. Check that the internally threaded components in your setup match those connection types and sizes.
What is the fitting made from? Each adapter is brass, with a gold colour. The material is noted for corrosion resistance, sealing properties, high-temperature ductility and low magnetic permeability.
How should I prepare the threads for installation? Start with clean, undamaged threads and use an appropriate sealant or thread tape to support the seal. Tighten securely without overtightening, sealant and tape are not included in the pack.
When it makes sense
Choose this four-pack when your connection calls for a direct male-to-male link between 3/8" SAE flare and 3/8" NPT threads. It brings the specified brass material, hex-nipple format and multiple matching fittings together for pipeline work across the listed applications, making it a practical fit for projects that need these particular connection ends.
