GI Nipple Long 15 mm

Galvanized Iron Long Nipple for Industrial Blasting Systems

In abrasive blasting operations, every connection point is a potential leak path or wear point. The GI Nipple Long 15 mm is manufactured from galvanized iron, offering a balance of corrosion resistance and mechanical strength suitable for compressed air and abrasive media transfer lines. The 15 mm nominal diameter is a common size in many blast pot and spray system configurations, making this a frequently replaced spare part for maintenance teams.

Unlike standard short nipples, the 'long' designation provides additional thread engagement length. This is particularly useful when connecting components that are not directly adjacent, such as a blast hose coupling to a remote-control valve or a moisture separator to a blast machine inlet. The galvanized coating helps protect the fitting from atmospheric corrosion in workshop and field environments, extending its service life before replacement is needed.

Key Selection and Compatibility Considerations

Before ordering, procurement and maintenance professionals should verify the following points to ensure the GI Nipple Long 15 mm is a correct fit for their equipment:

• Thread Standard: Confirm whether your system uses BSP, NPT, or another thread standard. Mismatched threads will cause leaks or damage.
• Pressure Rating: Ensure the nipple's pressure capacity matches your blasting system's operating pressure, typically between 90-150 PSI for most portable blasters.
• Media Compatibility: While GI is durable, highly aggressive abrasives like aluminum oxide will cause internal wear over time. Inspect nipples regularly as part of your preventive maintenance schedule.
• Overall Length: Measure the required center-to-center distance between the female ports you are connecting to confirm the 'long' length is appropriate.
