1/2″ Male Thread to 10mm Nipple

Versatile Precision for Professional Systems

The ” 1/2″ Male Thread to 10mm Nipple is a robust “problem-solver” fitting used to adapt fluid or gas lines. Its precision-cut threads ensure compatibility with municipal water lines, while the 10mm end is optimized for secure attachment to flexible hoses or for extending recessed pipework.

Key Features & Benefits

• Multiple Configurations: Available as a Hose Barb for direct hose attachment with clamps or a Hex Nipple for extending pipe length.

• Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Typically crafted from 304 Stainless Steel or Nickel-Plated Brass, ensuring longevity in Sri Lanka’s humid environment and resistance to rust even when exposed to salt or moisture.

• Leak-Proof Performance: Deep, smooth threads provide an effective connection when used with thread sealant (PTFE tape). The barbed variant ensures a firm grip on flexible tubing to prevent slips under pressure.

• Heat and Chemical Resilience: Safe for use with air, water, oil, and fuel. It can handle standard operating temperatures up to 60°C for plastic models and over 100°C for metal variants.

• Industrial Structural Strength: The hex-shaped body allows for high torque during installation without damaging the fitting or stripping the threads.

Typical Applications in Sri Lanka

• Water Purification (RO Systems): Used to transition from 1/2″ main water inlets to 10mm feed lines for commercial or household filters.

• Sanitary Plumbing: Ideal for extending connections for faucets, bidets, or geysers where the wall pipe is set too deep.

• Agriculture & Gardening: Connecting 10mm irrigation hoses to 1/2″ outdoor taps or valve manifolds.

• Pneumatic & Industrial Use: Reliable for air compressor lines, pneumatic tools, and machine cooling systems requiring 10mm tubing.
