What is a King Nipple?    The Essential PipetoHose Transition Fitting    A King Nipple (also called KC Nipple or Combination Nipple) is a specialized industrial fitting that seamlessly bridges femalethreaded pipes and flexible hoses. Its unique dualended design solves connection challenges in liquid/gas transfer systems where space and compatibility matter.

 Key Features & Design    DualFunction Ends:    Male NPT Thread: Screws into standard femalethreaded pipes, valves, or equipment.    Smooth Hose Shank: Barbfree surface for secure hose + clamp attachment.    No Hex Nut: Streamlined body prevents snagging in tight spaces.      Material Versatility:  
Material Best For
Carbon Steel Cost-effective plumbing, compressed air, oil/gas
304 Stainless Chemical/water systems, moderate corrosion resistance
316 Stainless Food processing, marine, high-corrosion environments
   Critical Specifications:    Sizes: 1/4″ to 12″ (Standard) • Customizable    Thread: NPT (National Pipe Taper)  or BSPT  Pressure: ❌ Not for steam systems • Varies by material/clamp    1/2″ Dimensions: Length (A): 3.125″ • Thread OD (C): 0.645″      Why Choose a King Nipple?  
  1. Simplified Connections  
   Replaces multiple fittings – one solution for pipetohose transitions.  
  1. SpaceSaving Design  
   Hexless body fits flush in cramped areas (e.g., machinery, irrigation).  
  1. Material Flexibility  
   Optimize cost (carbon steel) or corrosion resistance (stainless steel).  
  1. LeakProof Performance  
   Precision threads + clampsecured hose ensure reliable seals.      Applications    
Applications
Carbon Steel Stainless Steel (304/316)
– Compressed air lines – Chemical transfer
– Fuel/oil pipelines – Food/pharma processing (316 only)
– Low-pressure hydraulics – Marine/offshore equipment
– General construction – Water treatment plants
! Never Use For: Steam systems, thermal shock, or gas >150 PSI.
  ⚠️ Never Use For: Steam systems, thermal shock, or gas >150 PSI.      Installation Guide  
  1. Threaded End: Apply Teflon tape → screw into female NPT or BSPT port.  
  2. Hose End: Slide hose over shank → secure with two clamps.
