Newage Industries 5011993 Poly Threaded Hex Nipple Npt

Product Description

The NEWAGE INDUSTRIES 5011993 is a polyethylene threaded hex nipple designed for fluid transfer and plumbing connections in low-pressure piping systems. The hex body allows for standard wrench engagement during installation, providing a secure, leak-resistant joint. Constructed from polyethylene, this fitting offers corrosion resistance and lightweight handling compared to metal alternatives. It is a practical choice for irrigation, chemical handling, and general water service applications where plastic fittings are specified. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This hex nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation manifolds, and fluid distribution systems where NPT-threaded polyethylene fittings are required. The 1/2 inch inside diameter and 1/2 inch outside diameter sizing positions it for use in standard half-inch pipe runs. It ships in a package quantity of 10, making it a practical stocking item for contractors and service vans.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before threading any fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for plastic fittings to NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as polyethylene threads can crack under excessive torque.
