Standard Steel Pipe Nipple Lengths
1.Close Nipple (Shortest Length)
Length: Threads run nearly the entire length, leaving almost no unthreaded space.
Applications: Tight spaces where minimal length is required.
Common Sizes: 1/8″ to 4″ diameters.
- Short Nipple
Length: Slightly longer than a close nipple, with a small unthreaded section.
Typical Lengths: 1″ to 2″ (varies by diameter).
Applications: Compact installations with limited clearance.
- Standard/Long Nipple
Length: The most commonly used size, with a balanced threaded and unthreaded portion.
Typical Lengths: 2″ to 12″ (or longer for custom orders).
Applications: General plumbing, water lines, and industrial piping.
- ExtraLong Nipple (Extension Nipple)
Length: Extends beyond standard lengths for specific spacing needs.
Typical Lengths: 12″ up to 36″ (custom lengths available).
Applications: Largescale industrial systems requiring extended reach.
