Description
King Combination Nipple Beveled End
King Combination Nipple Beveled End is an aluminum combination nipple designed for compatible hose assemblies where a beveled-end connection is required.
King Combination Nipples are not recommended for steam. Working pressure may vary with the construction of the hose, the type of clamping system used, and the application, so complete assembly requirements should be reviewed before use.
Product Highlights
Aluminum King Combination Nipple with a beveled-end configuration for compatible hose assemblies.
Working pressure depends on hose construction, clamping method, and application, with testing guidance provided for coupled hose assemblies.
Technical Specifications
King Combination Nipple Configuration
The nipple is intended to be incorporated into a compatible hose assembly using the appropriate hose construction and clamping system.
The opposite end provides the beveled-end connection configuration identified for this King Combination Nipple.
King Combination Nipple Design
The King Combination Nipple uses a beveled-end configuration on the connection side. This end style should be matched to the intended mating system and complete hose assembly before installation.
Confirm the required nipple size, beveled-end configuration, and mating connection before ordering. The complete assembly should be reviewed so the nipple corresponds to the hose, clamp system, and intended application.
The working pressure may vary with the construction of the hose, the type of clamping system used, and the application. These factors should be evaluated together rather than assigning suitability based on the nipple alone.
Review the hose construction, clamping method, nipple size, and intended operating conditions before assembly. Dixon should be consulted for recommendations when application-specific pressure guidance is required.
In accordance with the R.M.A. bulletin for oil suction and discharge hose, a coupled length of hose in any size should be tested to 1-1/2 times the working pressure. The test pressure should be maintained for fifteen minutes.
During the test period, the assembly should remain free of leakage and coupling movement. This testing guidance applies to the complete coupled hose assembly and should be considered as part of installation and verification.
King Combination Nipples are not recommended for steam service. This restriction should be considered when reviewing the intended media and operating conditions before selecting the nipple.
Confirm the application, working pressure, hose construction, clamping system, and complete assembly requirements before use. When operating conditions fall outside the supplied guidance, consult Dixon for recommendations.
Installation & Selection Considerations
Confirm the required nipple size.
Verify the beveled-end configuration.
Match the hose construction.
