{"title":"Nipple Fittings","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNipple Fittings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pipe nipple is the short threaded connector that ties your pump, unloader, coil, and plumbing together, and the right one costs a couple bucks while the wrong one strips out at 4,000 PSI. Sun Brite Supply carries nipple fittings in steel, brass, stainless, and poly, from 1\/8 inch close nipples to BSP outlet and bypass nipples for hot water machines. Not sure if your machine needs NPT or BSP?

Get all three right and the joint outlives the machine. Miss one and you get leaks, galled threads, or a fitting that rusts solid before the next rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNipple Types Explained\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA close nipple is threaded end to end with no bare pipe in the middle. It puts two fittings almost face to face, which keeps manifolds compact, but there is nothing to grab with a wrench, so removal takes an internal nipple wrench or a sacrifice. A hex nipple adds a wrench flat in the center, and on a pressure washer that hex is worth paying for every time. Standard pipe nipples come in set lengths, measured thread tip to thread tip, and give you spacing where you need it. Reducing nipples step between sizes, like 3\/8 to 1\/4, in one part instead of a bushing stack. Hose nipples have threads on one end and a barb on the other for clamped low pressure lines like bypass and chemical feeds. Bypass nipples, like the K7 series we carry for hot water skids, route unloader bypass water back where it belongs and are machine-specific parts, so match the part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSteel, Brass, Stainless, or Poly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlated steel is the workhorse for high pressure lines. Our steel hex nipples are rated for the outlet side of a pressure washer, with some rated to 5,000 PSI, and they shrug off the torque a gorilla with a pipe wrench puts on them. Brass will not rust and machines nicely, so it is the pick for water inlets, chemical paths, and anything that sits wet, but keep it on the low pressure side of the pump on bigger machines. Stainless costs the most and earns it around softwash chemicals and salt air. Poly is for chemical suction lines only, never pressure. One more rule from the corrosion books: threading bare steel into brass in a wet system sets up galvanic corrosion, and the joint you saved two dollars on becomes the joint you cut out with a sawzall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNPT, BSP, and JIC Threads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmerican machines use NPT, a tapered thread that seals as it wedges tight with sealant. Many pumps and unloaders built in Italy or Germany use BSP, which has a different thread angle and pitch. The two look similar and will even start together, then leak forever and ruin both parts. If your pump is a European brand, assume BSP on the ports until proven otherwise. That is why we stock 3\/8 BSP outlet nipples alongside the NPT lineup. JIC nipples seal on a 37 degree flare cone instead of the threads, which makes them reusable and leak-free without sealant, and you will find them on better-built skids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNipple Fittings by Type and Price\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFitting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUse It For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrice\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/brass-nipple-1-2-x-close\"\u003eBrass Nipple 1\/2\" x Close\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClose\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTight spots in water inlet plumbing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$1.21\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/steel-high-pressure-hex-nipple\"\u003eSteel High Pressure Hex Nipple\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePump outlet to unloader connections\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$2.62\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/brass-nipple-1-2-x-2\"\u003eBrass Nipple 1\/2\" x 2\"\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePipe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpacing on inlet and chemical lines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$2.84\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/steel-hex-nipple-jic-1-2-20-x\"\u003eSteel Hex Nipple JIC 1\/2-20\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJIC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlare-seal hose connections\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$3.76\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/steel-nipple-1-4-x-2-for-mxucc3x-5000-psi\"\u003eSteel Nipple 1\/4\" x 2\", 5000 PSI\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePipe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh pressure gun and lance plumbing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$3.95\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/1982520-hose-nipple\"\u003e1982520 Hose Nipple\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHose barb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClamped bypass and chemical lines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$4.16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/steel-high-pressure-hex-nipple-reducer\"\u003eSteel Reducing Hex Nipple\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReducing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStepping 3\/8 plumbing down to 1\/4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$4.28\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/brass-hex-nipple-3-4-mpt\"\u003eBrass Hex Nipple 3\/4\" MPT\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInlet manifolds and filter housings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$7.25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/10016170-outlet-nipple-3-8-bsp\"\u003e10016170 Outlet Nipple 3\/8 BSP\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBSP outlet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEuropean pump outlet ports\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$18.54\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/36311870-k7-2-3-8-bypass-nipple\"\u003e36311870 K7 Bypass Nipple 3\/8\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBypass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK7 hot water machine bypass circuit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$19.16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of these are special-order or counter items that come and go, so call ahead to confirm availability on the exact size you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/steel-high-pressure-hex-nipple\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0517\/4827\/4376\/files\/2586_01_web_0454563c-82b0-488e-a3cf-010ac35dbe27.png?v=1774305492\" alt=\"Steel high pressure hex nipple fitting for pressure washer plumbing\" width=\"400\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom the Field\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nipples that come across this counter cut in half tell the same two stories. Story one is rust. A plated steel nipple buried in a wet manifold for three seasons welds itself in place, and the repair that should have taken ten minutes takes an afternoon. If a nipple lives somewhere damp and low pressure, spend the extra dollar on brass. Story two is thread damage from reusing sealant-caked fittings. Old tape and pipe dope hide cracked threads and shed debris into your unloader. At one to four dollars a nipple, replace it during a rebuild instead of reinstalling a questionable one. And keep a spare high pressure hex nipple in the truck box.
