Value Collection 13713 Npt Threaded Hose Nipple 5-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13713 is a threaded combination nipple designed for hose connections in fluid transfer applications. This fitting uses NPT (National Pipe Taper) thread standard, making it compatible with standard pipe and hose assemblies common in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical service work. Combination nipples serve as a transition point between hose ends and threaded pipe fittings, allowing technicians to make secure, leak-resistant connections in pressurized or gravity-feed systems. This listing includes a pack of 5 nipples, making it practical for service vehicles, job-site stock, or maintenance kits where multiple connections may be needed at once.

This type of fitting is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate systems, and general mechanical applications where hoses must connect to threaded pipe ports. The NPT thread pattern is a widely adopted standard across water supply, chemical transfer, and compressed-air systems, giving this fitting broad utility in trade environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians regularly stock combination nipples as part of standard connection hardware for routine service and new installation work.

Key Features

• NPT thread standard for compatibility with standard pipe and hose assemblies
• Combination nipple design bridges hose ends to threaded pipe fittings
• Sold in a pack of 5 for efficient restocking and multi-point installations
• Compact form factor suitable for tight-space connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT threaded combination nipple for use with hose assemblies and threaded pipe fittings following the National Pipe Taper thread standard.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the system before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten, as NPT fittings rely on thread taper engagement and can crack if forced beyond proper make-up.
