King Combination Nipple – NPT Threaded End with Knurled Wrench Grip

Dixon recommends King Combination Nipples for low-pressure discharge and suction applications involving compatible liquids. The combination nipple configuration provides a practical transition between compatible hose assemblies and threaded piping components.

Working pressure can vary according to hose construction, the type of clamping system used, and the application. The complete hose assembly and intended service conditions should therefore be reviewed before installation.

The pipe-side end uses National Pipe Thread for connection with a compatible female NPT component. Confirm the nominal size and mating thread before selecting the nipple for a hose or piping assembly.

Inspect the threaded end and mating connection before assembly to ensure the threads are clean and undamaged. Appropriate installation practices should be used to protect both the nipple and connected equipment.

The unplated-steel Dixon options from 1/2" through 2" use an NPT threaded end with a knurled wrench grip. The knurled area provides a defined gripping surface that can assist with control of the fitting during installation and removal.

The 3" unplated-steel ST35 option uses Dixon's NPT threaded-end no-knurl construction. Verify the selected nominal size and corresponding construction when ordering from this combined GetPipe.com listing.

This GetPipe.com listing covers nominal sizes from 1/2" through 3". Selection should account for the required hose size, NPT connection, hose construction, securement method, compatible liquid, and intended operating conditions.

Dixon states that King Combination Nipples are not recommended for steam and recommends crimp sleeves for reliable assemblies. A completed hose assembly should be properly inspected and tested before being placed into service.
