Brass Hex Nipple Socket

It is made from premium brass and finished with a nickel plating for added corrosion resistance. A sealing washer is included to help achieve a tight, leak-free seal in assemblies that use compatible threads.

The 1/2" refers to the threaded size of the fittings, indicating it fits 1/2"-diameter piping or components. The 10M indicates a 10-meter length for the nipple portion, which is the portion that threads into the system.

It’s suitable for a variety of plumbing and airflow systems, including water, gas, and oil pipelines. The nickel plating and sealing washer help ensure durability and leak resistance in many environments.

1) Clean the mating threads. 2) Place the sealing washer in position. 3) Apply a compatible thread sealant tape if recommended for your system. 4) Thread the socket onto the fitting by hand, then tighten with a wrench until snug. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to threads or the washer.

Use an adjustable wrench or a fixed-size wrench that fits the hex ends. Tighten by hand and then give a quarter to half-turn with the wrench, ensuring a secure seal without over-tightening which could damage threads or the washer.

Yes. Ensure the mating threads are compatible (NPT, BSP, etc.) and that the system material is compatible with brass. Avoid mixing incompatible metals without proper sealing, and follow standard safety practices for handling pressurized lines.

Periodically inspect the threaded joints for signs of corrosion or leaks. If you notice staining, dampness, or corrosion around the seal, disassemble, inspect the sealing washer, clean threads, re-apply sealant if needed, and reassemble. Replace the washer if it shows wear.

All are from Fepy and share brass construction; choose based on end connections to match your system.

Consider using PTFE thread seal tape (teflon tape) and replacement sealing washers as needed. These accessories help improve seal integrity and ease future disassembly. See related items: https://fepy.com/product/thread-seal-tape-ptfe and https://fepy.com/product/sealing-washer-brass.

Many Fepy product pages include a downloadable installation guide or datasheet in the Documents or Manual section. Check the Brass Hex Nipple Socket product page for any PDFs or installation sheets, which may be linked under a Resources tab.

Identify the threading standard needed (e.g., NPT vs BSP) and the mating components. Match the size to the thread diameter of the existing fittings (1/2" in this case) and verify whether the application requires a shorter or longer nipple length. If unsure, compare similar fittings on Fepy and check product specifications to ensure compatibility.
