Midland Industries CNG-600-S Combination King Nipple

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES CNG-600-S is a combination king nipple designed to transition between a hose barb connection and a grooved-end pipe connection in a single fitting. Constructed from steel with a plain finish, this fitting provides a reliable mechanical transition point for fluid-handling systems where flexible hose must connect to grooved-end (Victaulic-style) pipe. Both connection ends are sized at 6 inches, making this a large-diameter fitting suited for industrial or commercial piping applications. At 12.1 pounds, the CNG-600-S is a substantial, heavy-duty component intended for professional installation.

This combination king nipple is used in commercial and industrial piping systems where grooved-end pipe and flexible rubber hose must interface. Typical install scenarios include mechanical rooms, pump discharge lines, and large fluid-transfer assemblies where vibration isolation or flexible routing is required alongside grooved mechanical pipe. The steel construction supports use in demanding service environments where durability and pressure resistance are priorities.

Key Features

• Dual-end configuration: 6-inch hose barb on one end, 6-inch grooved (Victaulic-style) connection on the other
• Steel construction with plain finish for durability in commercial and industrial service
• Single-piece king nipple design eliminates the need for multiple adapters at the hose-to-pipe transition
• Large 6-inch diameter on both connection ends for high-flow, large-bore piping systems
• Compatible with standard grooved-end mechanical couplings used in commercial piping

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit combination king nipple for large-diameter piping systems utilizing grooved-end (Victaulic-style) mechanical couplings and 6-inch hose barb connections. Consult system design documentation to confirm pressure ratings and hose compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with grooved mechanical piping systems. Shut off all fluid flow and depressurize the line before removing or installing any fitting. The grooved end requires a compatible grooved mechanical coupling; ensure the coupling gasket material is rated for the service fluid and temperature. Verify hose clamp selection and torque requirements per hose manufacturer specifications before pressurizing the assembly.
