Frequently asked questions about this product
What is a threaded nipple used for?
A nipple is a short fitting with an external thread used to connect into a female-threaded component such as a coupling, valve or vessel port, extending or joining a run of pipe in food and juice equipment.
What advantage does AISI 316 give over AISI 304?
AISI 316 contains molybdenum, which significantly improves resistance to chlorides and acids. That makes it the safer choice for prolonged contact with acidic fruit juices, wine and salty or sanitiser-rich environments.
How do I get a tight, leak-free connection?
Wrap PTFE tape or apply thread sealant to the male thread, thread it in by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with a wrench until snug; check under working pressure for any weeping.
How should it be cleaned to stay hygienic?
Rinse after use and clean with non-chlorine detergents; avoid steel wool or harsh abrasives so the passive oxide layer that protects the stainless steel stays intact.
