SS Hex Nipple 80 mm (SS 316)

SS 316 Hex Nipple for Abrasive Blasting Equipment

In surface preparation environments, standard pipe fittings degrade rapidly under the constant flow of high-velocity abrasives. The SS Hex Nipple 80 mm (SS 316) is specifically suited for these demanding conditions. The SS 316 grade offers superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion compared to standard SS 304, particularly in marine or chemically aggressive industrial atmospheres. The hexagonal body design allows for secure wrench tightening, ensuring a leak-free seal in high-vibration blasting setups.

This component is commonly used to connect blast pots, abrasive regulators, moisture separators, and hoses. Its 80 mm size is a standard dimension for high-volume air and media flow, making it a vital link in the efficiency chain of your sandblasting or shot blasting operation. Replacing worn or corroded nipples with the correct SS 316 specification prevents sudden pressure drops and media leaks that can halt production.

Verifying Compatibility and Dimensions

Before ordering, it is crucial to confirm the exact thread standard and overall length required for your specific machine model. While the nominal size is 80 mm, the end-to-end length and thread type (BSP, NPT, or metric) must match your existing equipment. We strongly recommend measuring the old part and checking your machine's parts manual.

Key dimensions to verify include the thread diameter and pitch, the hex size for your wrench, and the pressure rating needed for your system. SPA2Z can assist with technical data to help you cross-reference these details, ensuring the replacement part fits perfectly and performs reliably from the first cycle.
