Description
When you’re putting together hydraulic lines or pneumatic systems on your tractor, sometimes you need the shortest connection possible between two fittings. That’s where a close nipple comes in handy—it’s basically a short piece of threaded pipe with no unthreaded section in the middle, letting you connect components directly together with minimal space.
What You’re Getting
- Male NPT threads on both ends for a secure, leak-proof connection
- Compact 1/8 inch size perfect for gauge lines, pilot controls, and small hydraulic circuits
- Black iron construction that’s tougher than brass and handles higher pressures
- Close nipple design means maximum thread engagement with minimal length
Built for Real Farm Work
This little fitting is perfect for connecting hydraulic gauges, joining valves directly together, or anywhere you need a short, solid connection in your tractor’s hydraulic or pneumatic systems. You’ll find these handy on everything from loader controls to three-point hitch systems where space is tight.
Made to Last
Black iron stands up to the pressure and abuse that farm hydraulics dish out. It won’t crack like plastic fittings or corrode like steel, and it handles the vibration and temperature swings that come with field work. The heavy-duty construction means this little fitting will outlast many of the components it connects.
Installation Notes
Use pipe thread compound or Teflon tape on the threads for a good seal—these are straight threads, so the sealant does the work. Don’t overtighten; snug plus a quarter turn is usually plenty. Keep a few of these on the shelf since they’re perfect for quick repairs when hydraulic lines need attention.
