Description

When you’re working on hydraulic systems or air lines on your tractor or implement, sometimes you need the shortest connection possible between two female fittings. A close nipple is just that—it’s threaded from end to end with no space between the threads, so you can make the tightest, most compact connection when space is tight.

What You’re Getting

Male NPT threads on both ends for connecting two female fittings
Close nipple design means no gap between threads—just solid threaded connection
Heavy-duty black iron construction that won’t crack under pressure
Precise 1/2 inch NPT threading for reliable, leak-free connections

Built for Real Farm Work

This fitting is perfect for hydraulic systems on tractors, loaders, and implements where you need to connect components in tight spaces. You’ll also find it handy for air compressor lines, shop air systems, and anywhere you’re working with threaded pipe connections that need to be as short as possible.

Made to Last

Black iron fittings are the standard in agricultural hydraulics because they handle high pressure without cracking or failing. The black finish resists corrosion better than bare steel, and the threads are cut clean and precise so they’ll seal properly with thread sealant or tape.

Good to Know

Always use thread sealant or Teflon tape on NPT fittings to prevent leaks. Thread the fitting in hand-tight first, then use a wrench to tighten just until snug—over-tightening can crack the female fitting. Keep a few different sizes on hand since close nipples are one of those fittings you always seem to need when you least expect it.
