A one-sided nipple is a type of pipe fitting typically used in pipe connections and pipe assemblies. This nipple is a metal pipe component with one end threaded (usually internally threaded) and the other end plain (for welding or flange connection). The term "stainless" indicates that this nipple is made from stainless steel, making it resistant to corrosion.
One-sided nipples are used to connect pipes to each other or to assemble pipe systems. The threaded end can be securely connected by joining it with another threaded connection or nut. The plain end can be integrated into the pipe system through welding, flange, or other connection methods.
Stainless steel is often preferred material in industries such as chemical processing facilities, food processing plants, and other applications because it is durable and resistant to corrosion. A one-sided stainless steel nipple is designed to be used under such demanding conditions and is a good choice for providing a tight seal.
These types of pipe fitting components can come in various sizes and threaded types, depending on the design and requirements of a pipe system. They may have various designs and features depending on where they are used.
